The J-1 Visa Test:
Intern or Trainee
U.S. visa regulations are often opaque. Many agencies take advantage of this lack of clarity. I want to change that. With this free test, you can check instantly and anonymously whether you meet the strict requirements for a J-1 visa—and whether you qualify as an “Intern” or a “Trainee.”
Start: J-1 Eligibility Check
Please answer the questions truthfully. The algorithm reviews your educational background and professional experience in real-time.
How This Calculator Works
This test isn’t just a simple quiz. It reflects the decision-making matrix used by U.S. consular officers during the interview process.
We verify three critical factors:
- The 12-Month Rule: The toughest criterion for recent graduates. One day late, and the “Intern” status is lost.
- Academic Accreditation: Is your degree recognized in the U.S.? (Post-Secondary Institution).
- Practical Experience: Have you gained “real” professional experience, or was it just a side job?
Your Result: The Next Step
Did the calculator give you the green light? Perfect. That means your credentials match the requirements on paper.
Now it’s time for the implementation. As a specialized agency, we take over at this exact point and convert your result into the official DS-2019 form.
