The most basic criteria is that the company should have at least 4 full-time employees (that are on the payroll) and be able to provide a Workers Compensation Policy. If it has less than 25 full-time employees (or less than $3 Million in annual revenue), it will require a Site Visit. There is also a minimum ratio between full-time employees and number of J1 Visa participants. For more detailed information, read our article about the Eligibility Requirements for an American Company to Host a J1 Participant. However, there are exceptions, so be sure to contact us directly at training@architect-us.com.
How do I know whether the American Company I have an offer from is eligible to host me?
