Hi Natham,
The J1 visa Work and Travel is really designed for current students not graduates so you may have an issue getting approved for it given your intention.

Hi CJ,
Im in the US at the moment looking for work. I want to find sponsorship on an E3 visa. I have just graduated from university and am eligible for the J1 visa. Am I able to apply for the J1 visa in the US so I can do any job in the US instead of having to find a job that meets the requirements needed to get an E3?
Thanks for your help

thanks so much for your help CJ, this website certainly offers much more useful information about US visas than any other websites I have found so far. Thanks again!

Hi Kls,
I assume you were here on the J1 visa Work and Travel program. Look if the job offer is legitimate and meets the criteria of an E3 visa specialty occupation and the bachelors degree condition, etc. there is no reason you shouldn’t be accepted. The fact you returned or are returning home following your J1 visa suffices the condition that you intended to return home. They may ask you about your previous visa time but you should be fine as it is common stepping stone visa that people use so certainly not a unique situation.
Good Luck,
CJ

Hi Cj
I came across this post while looking for information on the e3 visa. I am currently an Australian in the US on the J1 visa program, and have managed to find an employer willing to sponsor me on an E3. I have to return home to the Australian consulate to have another interview, and I just want to know what your thoughts are on my chance of being accepted for an e3. Seeing as it may have been against my initial intentions for ‘temporarily’ visiting the US – do you think the officers will bring that up?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Mitchell,
Finding a Internship/Job on the J1 visa in many ways is similar to the full work visa like the H1B visa or E3 visa. With the J1 visa you have a couple of extra resources with places like CIEE.org (and their affiliates in different countries), Intrax, Inter Exchange but otherwise this post lists the places to find work in the US (http://e3visa.info/2009/01/19/which-are-the-best-places-to-find-a-job/). These sites also go through the process of getting the J1 visa too better than anything I have at the moment. Also if you haven’t already read the J1 visa Internship post (http://e3visa.info/2009/03/14/j-1-visa-internship-int-professional-career-training-pct-programs/)
Good Luck,
CJ

Hi CJ,

Do you have links to the future posts you did which goes through the J1 process in more detail as well as the posts about finding a job on this visa?

Thanks

the French Consulate General in London

As from June the 1st 2009, nationals from Mauritius, Seychelles, Barbados, Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Christopher and Nevis are exempted from visa for stays up to 90 days in the Schengen States and the european territories of France. Visas are no more issued except if the destination of the travel is situated in a oversea territory of France or if the purpose of the travel in France is to have a paid activity.
