The J-1 visa is a temporary, nonimmigrant visa for individuals that allows them to come to the U.S. to teach, work, intern, train, counsel, and research and stay in the United States for the duration of the visitor exchange program. We are offering a program to offer temporary internships to hospitality workers with either a diploma or experience in the field.
The J-1 program allows individuals to enter the U.S. under the following categories:
Professor
Research Scholar
Alien Physician
Trainee and Interns among other things
J-1 visa program offers an excellent opportunity for internship in the USA for individuals. The key benefit of paid internships in the USA for foreigners is to gain practical experience that helps them achieve new industry heights at home.
A graduate from an accredited institution at the Associate’s Degree level or higher with at least 12 months of related work experience outside of the United States.

J-1 traineeship is a training program that helps foreign professionals gain exposure in American culture and gain a structured training program in the U.S. luxury hospitality industry. There are a number of benefits that can still be gained through the J-1 program; however, those benefits will vary according to the program the foreign national participates in.

No need for the foreign national to work as an employee of a foreign employer

Not required to demonstrate that the training is not available in the country of origin (like the H-3 trainee program)
Does not require approval of petition by USCIS before the foreign national applies for a visa
The foreign national applies directly to the U.S. Consulate for the J-1 visa with the forms we provide
Can take advantage of U.S. tax benefits: exempt from FICA contributions, and may benefit from specific tax treaty provisions exempting J-1’s from U.S. taxation altogether for defined periods
