Global Crossroad’s
Internship in the USA Program
is designed to offer international
students the opportunity for
professional training. We know
and understand the needs of
the international student. From
the time we receive your résumé
until you are back in your home
country, you will be provided
with the services of an intern
coordinator which will act as
your "mentor/guide."
You will be provided with the
office and home numbers of your
coordinator so that in the event
of a problem, he/she will be
there to assist you.
The following
will provide you with the steps
required after you accept a
position with us:
1. You
must obtain a J-1 training
visa through a designated
sponsor who has the authority
to issue a DS2019 form. We
will help you identify this
source and assist you with
completing the necessary paperwork.
Once you have received your
DS2019, you must take it to
the U.S. Consulate to get
your J-1 visa. The consulate
is the only agency authorized
to issue this visa. The granting
or denial of this visa is
at the discretion of the U.S.
Consulate Office. A J-1 visa
is a non-immigrant exchange
visitor visa that is valid
for a maximum of 18 months.
This visa implies no desire
on the part of the recipient
to remain in the United States
permanently and that he/she
intends to return to his/her
country of citizenship.
2. When
you have been granted a J-1
visa, your I-94 card will
be stapled to your passport.
The card will be stamped "J-ID/S."
3. You are
now ready to make your travel
arrangements to the U.S. We
recommend that you stay in
constant touch with us; Global
Crossroad provides the details
and contact address of our
partners. With this procedure,
we can ensure that you arrive
at your internship on time
without any hassle or additional
and unnecessary costs.
4. Upon
arrival at your host city,
your designated intern coordinator
will be there to welcome you
and to accompany you to your
apartment. Your coordinator
will also assist you with
your pre-internship paperwork
and will be your host during
your orientation. It is important
that you have a passport,
DS 2019, I-94 card, and a
Social Security card. (Your
coordinator will assist you
in obtaining this document
if you do not have one.)
5. You
are now ready to start your
internship
6. We have
included as part of our website
the "U.S. Tax Regulations"
requirements for international
