We sponsor visas in many different J-1 visa categories, including Hospitality Management, Sales and Marketing, Business, Equine Research, Information Technology Services, Graphic Design, Engineering, Tour Operations, and Human Resources!

The J-1 visa is intended for persons with relevant academic and work experience who wish to receive practical training in the United States in their area of expertise. In this way
J-1 Exchange Visitors will learn new skills, especially American business management techniques that will help them further their careers when they return to their home country.

Applying for a J-1 visa through Pan Atlantic does not guarantee being granted the visa; the ultimate decision is made by the US embassy official who interviews you during the embassy appointment. The Pan Atlantic consultant in charge of your application will be with you each step of the way, making sure that you are prepared for the interview, that you complete the paperwork properly, and that you know what to expect during the interview.
