J-1 Visa - Summer Internships

As many employers know, April and May are often the busiest months of the year for company HR departments as both American and international college students and recent graduates are searching for summer internship opportunities throughout the United States.

With J-1 intern exchange visitor visas, it is possible for most U.S. companies to serve as hosts for foreign nationals interested in coming to our country to learn and develop particular professional skills.

If a qualified foreign national has contacted your office with an inquiry regarding a summer internship.....and you are interested in having them come over, let us know! We may be able to serve as program sponsors for his/her visa and program.

Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Efforts

We at Global Current send our condolences to Japan in the light of the tragic earthquake/tsunami that devastated the country this past Friday.

As a J-1 visa sponsor that sponsors a large volume of Japanese J-1 Exchange Visitors, we have plenty of friends in Japan. We hope that our former Global Current professionals and the family and friends of those we currently sponsor are OK given the circumstances. We are truly shocked by the extent of the destruction caused by these recent disasters.

Should you have any interest in making a charitable donation to the disaster relief efforts in Japan, we recommend donating to the American Red Cross.....

Good news in the world of U.S. international exchange visitor programs.....

While the U.S. Government cut $4.1 billion from its operating budget to avoid a government shutdown, the budgets for the Department of State and international exchange programs have not been affected.

As a J-1 visa sponsor, we are quite relieved by this development. In our opinion, U.S. Exchange visitor programs are crucial to providing the international community with a better idea of what our country and diverse population are actually like.....
