Our story began in 2022 when we provided housing for six J-1 SWT participants from Thailand. That eye-opening experience revealed the triumphs and challenges students face. Since then, we’ve worked with over 250 students, gaining valuable insights into what works—and what doesn’t.
This experience inspired us to create J-1 LLC and www.J-1.org, a hub where J-1 SWT and Intern participants can access resources, tips, and everything they need to thrive during their time in the United States. Our goal is to make the process seamless, maximizing the value students receive from their investment in this unique visa program.
Launched in 2023, www.J-1.org is an independent platform designed to elevate the experience of J-1 SWT participants. We began in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a local resource, helping students secure housing and additional job opportunities. Today, J-1.org serves students nationwide, providing essential tools and unbiased guidance.
We’ve simplified the J-1 process, ensuring students have access to everything they need for a successful program. From guidance on securing jobs and housing to insider tips on navigating life in the U.S., we’re your trusted partner every step of the way.
