The J 1 visa is used by individuals going to the United States under the sponsorship of government agencies, schools, and private organizations for variety of educational, cultural, and professional activities. Sponsors are designated by the U.S. Department of State to issue the Certificate of Eligibility – DS 2019 Form. It is not possible for an individual to make his/her own arrangements for J1 visa. Either an American sponsoring agency or an employer must be involved.

Our agency works together with American sponsor organization and help participants locate employment.
The final step involves an interview with a consular officer at the U.S. Embassy in Sofia, which our agency will help you to arrange. The purpose of the interview is to ensure that the participants meet the requirements of the program and are eligible to receive visas.
