J2 Visa
J2 Visa Details
A J2 visa may be obtained by a J1 visa holder’s spouse and minor children. A J2 visa holder may remain in the US as long as the J1 visa holder remains in legal status. A J2 visa holder may change his or her status in the US.
Employment
A J2 visa holder may apply for a work permit.
Study
A J2 visa holder may engage in full or part time study.
For whom is a J2 Visa appropriate?
Spouse and children of J1 visa holders who wish to visit or accompany the J1 visa holder to the United States.
What are the requirements for obtaining an J2 Visa?
Spouses and/or children under the age of 21 who wish to accompany or join the principal exchange visitor J1 visa holder in the United States for the duration of his/her stay require exchange visitor visas (derivative J visas). The application procedure is the same as that for a primary visa applicant. The sponsor must approve the accompaniment of the spouse and/or children and who will each be issued their own Form DS-2019.
