1 AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION Section of International Law 1050 Connecticut Ave, NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC Phone: (202) FAX: (202) J 1 VISA APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR HOST LAW FIRMS & VISA APPLICANTS The ABA Section of International Law s J 1 Visa Office will facilitate the issuance of the J 1 Visa for international attorneys to come to the United States to receive practical training at a law firm, or law office, only if he/she has received an offer in writing from a host firm. The Section is unable to process J 1 visas for interns or any other training category except for legal related training programs. Under the U.S. Department of State s regulations, trainees must: hold a degree from a post secondary academic institution outside of the U.S. and have at least one year of prior related work experience in their occupational field acquired outside of the United States; possess verifiable English language skills sufficient to function on a day to day basis. Trainees English language skills must be verified by a recognized English language test, by signed documentation from an academic institution or English language school; and complete an acceptable training placement plan (form DS 7002). Further information can be found in the U.S. State Department s regulations by clicking here (see Trainees and interns). Host organizations and firms that employ fewer than 25 employees (at the specific training site) or earn less than three million dollars in annual revenue who have not previously participated successfully in a training program with the Section will need to ensure their host organization or firm possesses and maintains the ability and resources to provide structured and guided work based learning experiences according to the training placement plan. Host organizations and firms can arrange for a site visit to be conducted by our staff at the organization s or trainee s expense or may partner with a larger organization or firm for the training program. In order to apply for the J 1 Visa through the ABA Section of International Law, the trainee must complete the J 1 Visa Training Program Application as well as all items listed below (further explanation provided for some items). All components of the application should be original, signed documents, unless otherwise noted, and sent directly to the J 1 Visa Office for processing.

If possible, please send the application materials electronically as PDFs to the J 1 Visa Office via (intilex@americanbar.org) before sending the hard copy application. This allows the J 1 Visa Office to review the application and alert the applicant and host firm as to any questions or concerns related to the materials before receiving the final documents. Once a complete application is received, it can take up to four weeks to process, but generally they are processed within two weeks. Please see the U.S. State Department s website for visa wait times for interview appointments and processing: 1. The application form (found attached to these instructions) must be typed and include the trainee s original signature. (Answers can be directly inputted into the PDF form and then printed). 2. Personal statement: on a separate page, please state in detail ( words) your specific reasons for seeking training from a law firm or law office in the U.S. under the auspices of the ABA Section of International Law s ILEX J 1 Visa Program. 3. Letter from the host firm should be on letterhead and include an original signature from the supervisor or human resources department identifying the trainee s program offer and dates. If applicable, the letter should include whether or not the trainee will receive a stipend during the program and can also verify the trainee s English language proficiency (see item four below). 4. (No. 12 on application form) Please list the languages that you speak. Under the U.S. Department of State regulations for the J 1 Visa, trainees whose native language is not English must have verifiable English language skills sufficient to function on a day to day basis.

3 from an academic institution or English language school. Recognized English language tests include: Test of Spoken English (TSE), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). A copy of your examination score or signed original documentation from an academic institution or English language school must be included in your application. If you are unable to take a TOEFL exam, an original signed letter from the host firm on letterhead verifying your English language skills is acceptable. 5. (No. 17 on application form) Applicants should attach two reference letters to the application. The letters should be as specific as possible about the applicant s experience, qualifications and personal points on why the applicant is well suited for a legal training program in the U.S.; a letter simply stating that the reference personally knows the applicant and notation of their work accomplishments is not acceptable. The letters must be from two separate sources (i.e. not from two lawyers at the same firm or organization) and on letterhead with an original signature. 6. (No. 18 on application form) Applicants are required to submit written proof of health and repatriation insurance coverage for the period they will be in the U.S. receiving training. The insurance should cover medical benefits of: (1) at least $100,000 per accident or illness; (2) repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000; (3) medical evacuation of trainee to his/her home country of $50,000; and (4) deductible per accident/illness not to exceed $500. A copy of the insurance company s coverage of the trainee must be included with the application. Insurance requirements remain the same for J 2 visa applicants. Failure to include insurance coverage documentation can jeopardize the trainee s stay in the U.S. and will be reported to the State Department s immigration system. J 1 applicants and their J 2 dependents may also be subject to the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. 7. In addition, applicants are required to include a copy of their host organization s workers compensation certificate (or proof of exemption). 8. (No. 21 on application form) Except in those cases that hosts will offer the trainee a salary or stipend, each applicant must be prepared to finance the entire undertaking from his/her own resources. Please list all compensation sources during the training period, either from the host firm or government, or state that you will be using your personal funds. If funding is being received from an outside source, verification of the amount from the source must accompany the application. If self financed, a specific dollar amount of available personal funds must be noted, but no verification is needed. A specific amount of funding must be listed sufficient enough to cover living expenses during the entire stay in the U.S. 9. The J 1 Visa Training Program application fee, in the amount of U.S. $1300, should be made payable to ABA/ILEX. Any accompanying family members will need a J 2 Visa. The J 2 Visa application processing fee is U.S. $500 per visa. The application fee may be paid via a check from a U.S. bank account. For payments processed by credit card, there is a 5% service charge in additional to the application fee and for payments processed by wire transfer there is an additional $25 service charge for each wire transfer. 10. a) The training placement plan (form DS 7002) should be completed and enclosed with the entire application package. This form must also be typed and the mailed hard copy version must include December 2016

(No. 7 on application form) The minimum placement period is three months; the maximum is eighteen months. Page 3 of the DS 7002 form should be duplicated and filled out as necessary to include all phases. b) (No. 20 on application form) Applicants are required to fill out the Cross cultural Programming Plan in the application (and as required on the DS 7002 training plan). Crosscultural exchanges are an important component of any J 1 visa training program. The programs provide valuable opportunities for exchange visitors and Americans to engage with each other, to inform each other s thinking about the global community, to break down prejudices and misunderstandings, and to expand and strengthen the relationships between Americans and the rest of the world. Given this importance, we require applicants and their host organizations to actively plan and organize regular cross cultural events over the course of the applicant s training program. In addition to send the mailed hard copy as a part of the application, you must also the electronic PDF fillable version of the document phases without signatures (not the scanned version). 11. Please send copies of the first pages of your passport (biographical details) along with any pages that have previous visas. **Please note also that your passport is required to be valid for the entirety of your stay in the U.S. during the training program. Please note: the starting date that appears on the DS 2019 is the date the trainee is expected to arrive in the U.S. to begin his/her training. Therefore, the host firm should allow ample time for the trainee to get settled before starting. U.S. immigration will allow a J 1 visa holder to enter the U.S. up to 30 days before their program begins, if necessary. The J 1 Visa Program Office will not issue a DS 2019 form to extend a training program. If the trainee needs a replacement DS 2019 form any time during their training period, a replacement fee of U.S. $500 will be charged. After the DS 2019 and signed DS 7002 are issued and the applicant is registered in SEVIS, the following should be noted as requirements to complete the application process and ensure the ILEX office is updated on any changes to the trainee s status: Applicants should conduct their visa interviews in their home country or country of legal permanent residency as applicants should demonstrate ties to the country in which they are interviewing. Changing visa status (i.e. from F 1/OPT or otherwise) cannot be done within the U.S. J 1 applicants must conduct their interviews abroad and re enter the U.S. on J 1 Visa in order to change status properly. All applicants for J 1 exchange visitor visas must pay a fee via credit card online for the maintenance of the Immigration Service s J 1 exchange visitor administrative database. The administrative fee must be paid at least three days before the applicant s visa interview with the consular officer. This fee is in addition to the J 1 Visa Training Program Application fee and if you December 2016
5 do not pay it, you will not be issued a J 1 nonimmigrant visa for admission to the U.S. For additional information, please refer to the website: Applicants must notify the J 1 Visa Program Office if there are any changes of address or other information which in any way would affect their participation in the program. Trainees or their supervisors must contact the ABA upon the commencement of the trainee s program including the trainee s local address immediately so the trainee s program can be validated in the State Department s SEVIS system. Failure to do so could place the trainee on no show or invalid status in SEVIS. At the end of the training program, a brief 1 2 page report describing professional activities conducted and any cultural activities arranged by the host firm during the course of stay will be required. This report must be reviewed and signed by the host firm. For programs lasting six months or longer, a mid point evaluation is also required. A copy of the report must be sent to the J 1 Visa Program Office within 60 days of your departure from the U.S. December 2016
