What is a J-1 Visa?
The J-1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) to exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange through professional development. All J-1 Visa applicants must meet eligibility criteria and must be sponsored by a DOS-designated J-1 Visa sponsor agency like Intrax Global Internships.
What is a J-1 Visa sponsor?
The role of the J-1 Visa sponsor, like Intrax Global Internships, is to act as an extension of the U.S. Department of State (DOS) in that the J-1 Visa sponsor is tasked to ensure J-1 program compliance and also to serve as a resource for U.S. host companies and J-1 participants while on program in the United States.
What is a J-2 Visa?
If Intrax sponsors your J-1 Visa, your family members may apply with us for a J-2 Visa for dependents. As a J-1 Visa holder, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may accompany you to the U.S. For additional information and requirements for the J-2 Visa, please see our FAQs.

Equilar has been working with Intrax interns for over 4 years now. Our experience has been wonderful – the interns we’ve worked with have all had fantastic work ethic, positive attitudes, and willingness to support our business in just about any area.
