To request the J1 visa required for an exchange program, you need a document called “DS-2019 form”. This document may only be issued by exchange organizations, like Intrax, approved by the US Department of State. The organization must first check the applicants for the legal requirements and the suitability for the program. The DS-2019 form proves to the US Consulate that you, your American host company, and your internship follow the J1 program guidelines. Intrax is an official J1-visa sponsor, which means that we have been designated by the US Department of State to issue the DS-2019 form/Certificate of eligibility, a document which you need to present at the US Embassy during your visa interview.
