There is no age restriction for getting the J1 Intern or Trainee visa. We accept candidates who are older than 34 years old as long as we have J1 opportunities that will allow them to enhance their skills and expertise in their academic or occupational fields through their J1 participation. Our goal is for our candidates to take their careers to the next level with personal and professional experience in the United States. Please note that statistically, denied visas are much higher when the candidate is older than 34 years old. This is simply because the majority of candidates who pass this age have reached high-level or senior-level positions in the occupational field they want to pursue, and proving their J1 participation will enhance their skills and expertise is harder to prove. However, if you break down the stats on 34+-year-old candidates, those with a career change who have less than 15 years of experience and have not reached the highest position in the vertical have the same approval rate as candidates under 35 years old. But you should understand that identifying qualified 35+-year-old candidates is much more time-consuming as it's case by case, and some sponsors or J1 agencies set an age limit to reduce cost. Apply now, and see if you qualify We have already placed several J1 candidates older than 35 years old, and our success rate at the US embassy is 100% so far. But again, whatever your age, there is always a risk you see your visa denied at the US embassy. You should be aware of this.
