Important Information for Employers interested in hiring International Interns:
In most cases interns from outside of the U.S. will come on a J-1 Intern/Trainee Visa. The purpose of this visa is for students and young professionals to receive practical training in their chosen field and not to fill a labor need. Thus, Department of State regulations outline eligibility rules for employers and participants. Every employer, applicant, and training plan must be approved before a visa is issued.
Some of the basic guidelines for employers are:
- The duration is a maximum of 12 months. In some very rare cases 18 months is possible for pure management training.
- Employers must complete a DS 7002 Form for each participant. This outlines how the Intern will be spending his or her time, the objectives, skills to be acquired, etc.
- For internships lasting longer than six months the program must be divided into three or more functional rotations. Rotations in unskilled areas like housekeeping cannot be longer than six weeks.
- Interns must be paid the prevailing wage that US employees or interns would receive for the same role.
