What is J1/VIE Visa
The J1 VIE (Volontariat International en Entreprise) Program is a visa that promotes cultural exchange by allowing young graduates to come to the United States. They participate in full-time, paid, practical training programs at companies that are member of FACC (French-American Chambers of Commerce).
The JI VIE is suitable for candidates who search for opportunities in the U.S. and French companies, seeking to grow their business in the U.S.
A French company operating overseas offer the candidates assignments for 12 to 18 month in various fields, including finance, engineering, law, communications and technology. VIE candidates gain valuable experience and host companies benefit from young international talent.
