Eligibility requirements for a J-1 host company
I’ve heard a J-1 host company needs to be well-established organizationally, enough to provide an experience that can develop the professional skills of interns and trainees.
I’d like to know what requirements are needed.
I. Details to prepare: FEIN number and Workers Compensation Policy
The company must have been founded more than 1 year ago
At least 1 designated staff member to provide on-site supervision and coaching
A plan providing education and learning opportunities
Requires 3–4 employees as a baseline. (So generally, 1 J-1 per 5 employees is allowed; for 10 employees, 2 J-1s.)
Submission of goals and an activity plan
3–4 full-time employees are required.
