Corporate Sponsoring Strategy Update: 2025/2026

J1 Visa for Global Corporations:
Your Path to the DS 2019

Have you received your internship offer from a global player like Siemens, Kion, or Circle K? Congratulations. You are currently in the recruiting process within systems like Workday. However, a dangerous gap often arises here: the company gives you the job, but the responsibility for the J1 visa and the DS 2019 form often lies with you or external partners. We close this gap and lead you safely to your goal.

The Issue with Recruiting Portals

Global corporations use automated systems to select their applicants. Once the contract is signed, the responsibility of the recruiting teams often ends abruptly. Yet, the J1 visa for the USA or the GAE visa in the UK requires an authorized sponsor. For legal reasons, sponsors do not work directly with individuals. They require experts on the ground to handle the prep work and local steering. We know these workflows and know exactly which documents your host company must provide now.

Important Note:
Do not rely on the internal human resources department to have all the details for the application under control. We act as your expert partner and keep the sponsors free by preparing your digital documentation according to strict US guidelines.

Your Bridge to Official Sponsorship

We position ourselves as the necessary connection between your host company in the USA or the UK and the legal sponsor. We handle the entire preparation of your eligibility for you. This means for you:

  • We conduct the required English tests.
  • We check your training plan for compliance with the law.
  • We digitalize the entire process for fast approval.
  • We ensure the quality of your application for the sponsor.

Sponsorship for Demanding Participants

Applicants at global corporations have no time for bureaucratic dead ends. We eliminate friction. We use our direct connection to the sponsoring infrastructure to secure your DS 2019 form without unnecessary detours. While other agencies waste time with job searches, we focus purely on the approval of your project. We deliver validated documents that are accepted immediately.

Common Questions for Corporate Applicants

My company uses Workday – what should I do? +
The portal only serves the internal organization of the company. For the visa, you must register with an official entry point like VisaNerd. We then steer the communication with your host company outside of the portal.
Why do I need VisaNerd if I already have the job? +
Sponsors in the USA do not handle direct requests from individuals. They require authorized partners for the pre screening of applicants and the verification of the host company on site.
How fast will I receive my DS 2019? +
Through our digital preparation and close cooperation with the sponsors, we reduce the waiting time to a minimum. In most cases, validated documents are available within a few weeks of submission.
