A J1 Visa Sponsor is (or works with) a U.S. Department of State designated sponsor for the Exchange Visitor Program, that is authorized to issue the Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange J1 Visitor Status (the DS-2019 Form) – the main supporting document for the application for the J1 Visa. Unlike many other visas and sponsors, with Architect-US the employer (Host Company) isn’t responsible for the costs and commitment for the participant’s visa – that’s between Architect-US and the international. The J1 Visa Sponsor must keep track of the J1 Visa Holders while they are in the United States of America – stay updated on their home address, office environment and professional activities.
