| Visa Application Fees

Experience America has applied to the U.S.
Department of State for a J-1 Trainee designation which will
allow us to issue Form DS-2019 (formerly IAP-66). Until our
designation is approved, Experience America works closely with
other designated organizations to obtain Form DS-2019 on your
behalf.
For both the Personalized and Self-Arranged
Training Programs, the visa application fee is $450. Please
bear in mind, a training position must be confirmed before
Form DS-2019 can be issued. Experience America can place you
with a host company and help you obtain Form DS-2019!
Experience America holds the key to your training experience
in the U.S.!
