General Information: The "J" exchange visitor program is designed to promote the interchange of persons,knowledge, and skills in the fields of education, arts, and sciences. Participants include students at all academic levels; trainees obtaining on-the-job training with firms, institutions, and agencies; teachers of primary, secondary, and specialized schools; professors coming to teach or do research at U.S. institutions of higher learning; research scholars; professional trainees in the medical and allied fields. The "Q" international cultural exchange program is for the purpose of providing practical training, employment, and the sharing of the history, culture, and traditions of the participant's home country in the United States. Special Requirements:
Scholastic Preparation The "J" exchange visitors must have sufficient scholastic preparation and knowledge of the English language to enable the applicant to undertake a full course of study in the U.S. institution of learning or other place of study at which the applicant has been accepted. If the applicant's knowledge of English is inadequate to enable the applicant to pursue a full course of study, he/she must submit documentation that special arrangements have been made by the accepting U.S. institution for English language tutoring. The "Q" exchange visitor must be 18 years old and be able to communicate effectively about the cultural attributes of his or her country. Medical Education and Training Exchange visitors coming under the "J" program for graduate medical education or training must meet certain special requirements. They include having passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination in Medical Sciences, demonstrating competency in English, being automatically subject to the two-year foreign residence requirement (later), and being subject to time limits on the duration of their program. Physicians coming to the United States on exchange visitor programs for the purpose of observation, consultation, teaching, or research in which there is little or no patient care are not subject to the above requirements. |
