J-1 exchange visitors are present in the U.S. under the auspices of various programs sanctioned by the State Department. If authorized to work, they will have a currently valid Form DS-2019 and written permission from a Responsible Officer affiliated with whatever institution is conducting the particular exchange program. A J-2 dependent of a J-1 is eligible to work if in possession of a valid Employment Authorization Document. There are few, J-1 exchange programs remaining in the arts, with the exception of universities, that can use these programs in conjunction with cultural exchanges, residencies and the like. USArts International Training and Internship Program places international and United States students and post-graduates with arts and culture-related organizations to complete on-the-job training and internship placements in the United States. It is essential that the J exchange visitor be in possession of a currently endorsed DS-2019.
