The Sponsoring Process in Detail

The path to your visa takes place through a structured digital system. We handle the technical pre screening of your eligibility and ensure that your host company in the United Kingdom or the USA meets all necessary criteria. This process is designed to minimize friction with US authorities. Once your digital documentation is complete, we steer the submission to the sponsor for fast approval.

Comprehensive Protection for Your Stay

Every J1 sponsoring package from InterExchange includes high quality insurance coverage that meets the legal requirements of the US Department of State. This coverage handles medical emergencies during your entire stay and provides you and your team in the USA with the necessary security. We ensure that all insurance data is correctly integrated into your application so that your protection is active from the first day of your entry.

Good to know:
InterExchange places great value on supporting participants. We act as your link and clarify all questions directly in your time zone. This saves time and protects you from errors while preparing your validated documents.
