What is a j1 trainee?

J1 Trainees are individuals who come to the United States under the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa program to participate in structured training in their chosen field. The program is designed to enhance their skills and knowledge through hands-on experience with a U.S. host organization. J1 Trainees must have a degree or professional certificate and at least one year of related work experience, or five years of experience in their field. The goal is to foster cultural exchange and professional development before returning to their home country.
