Hi Peter, thanks for doing this.
I'm currently holding a J1 visa sponsored by University of California Berkeley ending in March. During several discussions for possible internships starting after the end of my J1 visa, I've been asked if I can enter an internship with my visa, through a renewal or whatever, or I need to get a new sponsorship and start the procedures again.
Thanks.
- proberts 9y agoIs this an academic J-1 or a non-academic J-1?
- rdednl 9y agoI don't know where I can find the answer to this question but I guess it's academic since I am a visiting research scholar here at UC Berkeley.
- baseethrowaway 9y agoBased on my experience in almost the exact scenario (different University), you'll have to get a new visa, as I did for my internship(s). There are a few programs under the J-1 visa. You are most likely in a long-term scholar or a short-term scholar program, and want to switch to an internship program.
