J-1 visas are for people who want to participate in an exchange visitor program in the US. The J-1 visa is intended for students needing practical training that is not available in their home country to complete their academic program. The training must be directly related to the academic program. The J-1 visa obligates the student to return to their home country for a minimum of two years after the end of their studies in the US.
A J-1 Visa is issued for an exchange visitor who is participating in an established J exchange program pre-approved by the U.S. Department of State. Exchange visitors under J-1 visas include secondary school and college students, business trainees, primary and secondary school teachers, college professors, research scholars, medical residents or interns receiving medical training in the U.S., specialists, international visitors, and government visitors. see http://www.greencardapply.com/j1/j1_faq.htm
