How can I work at
a U.S. camp?
Thank you for your interest in working
at an U.S. camp! Since ACA is not
a designated cultural exchange agency,
we are NOT able to help you get any type
of visa. However, you are encouraged
to contact International
Staff Placement Organizations who can
help you.
What is the difference
between an immigrant visa and a nonimmigrant
visa?
An immigrant visa is the visa issued to
persons wishing to live permanently in
the United States. A nonimmigrant visa
is the visa issued to persons with permanent
residence outside the U.S. but who wish
to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis,
for example, tourism, medical treatment,
business, temporary work, or study. A
J1 visa is one type of a nonimmigrant visa.
What is a J1 visa?
The Immigration and Nationality Act provides
a nonimmigrant visa category for persons
to participate in exchange visitor programs
in the United States. The "J" visa
is for educational and cultural exchange
programs designated by the U.S. Department
of State, Exchange Visitor Program and
Designation Staff. For details on
visas, visit the Immigration
and Naturalization Service's Web site
or go directly to the INS's Visitor
Exchange area. |
