This information session will provide an overview of the two J1 Visa programmes the Rian Immigrant Center offer to UG and Graduating Queen's students, including the eligibility criteria and application process.

The Center sponsor eligible applicants for the following types of visas: J-1 Irish Work and Travel (IWT Graduate Visa) For Irish citizens who graduated from Irish universities, the IWT visa allows for travel to the U.S. without having secured an internship in advance.

Throughout the internship search process, we will assist interns by offering tips on networking, interviewing, resume building for U.S. companies, securing appropriate positions when available, and more.

The second J-1 Intern Visa program allows students to travel to the US for 12 months, but requires securing a placement in advance of applying for the visa.
