Are participants in the camp counselor program subject to the 212E rule? What does it mean by the first category of those subject to 212E: Government funded exchange program? How do I know it the program is government funded? Thank you for your reply.
Hello Katherine. Foreign nationals can check their J-1 visa stamps or their DS-2019 form to see if they're subject to the 212e rule. Government funded means the foreign national is receiving their salary from a government source. This will also be listed on the DS-2019 form under funding.
Hello i have a couple of questions : I am 24 and i was graduated in 2020. As soon as graduation I went to Romania as a volunteer for kids for a year. Will it be beneficial for me to have the relevant document in the visa application? 2- After volunteering, now i came back home to Turkey. This year i will go for second university. I will apply for the visa during first grade. Is that possible? I have been 19 countries so far in ten years. I have 3 schengen visas. Do they see on the screen or i have to tell them about those? 3: What are my chances to get the visa for summer camp? Thank you in advance.

I had my interview in December 2021 for J-1 visa and put under administrative processing. It has been 6 x months since my interview for J-1 visa and yet no update. I wanted to ask if my visa gets approval on completion of administrative processing, do I need to submit renewed copy of DS-2019 with my passport to consular for signature and stamping or my 1st DS-2019 form on which my visa application put under administrative processing will suffice for traveling.
Hello. If your visa is approved you will need another DS-2019 form with current dates on it and you will also need to submit your passport so that they can issue your visa. Good luck!
Does the J1 visa category encompass both work and travel and the camp program? I want to know specifically if the camp program falls under the “J1 professional exchange Visitor category”?
Hello. You can't change your J-1 visa category once you are in the U.S. on a J-1 visa. You can extend however if you still have time left on your program within the maximum duration.
Hello Komang, Yes, you should be able to apply for a camp counselor J-1 visa as long as you are not currently on your hotel intern program now and have already departed from the U.S.

Is the two years rule apply for this visa? I am from Dominican Republic
You will know if you're subject to rule 212(e) after you apply for your visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy.
What if I'm unemployed and my only ties to my country is my family or friends, can my visa be denied?
Potentially. A good item idea is to buy a round trip plane ticket to show that you have intention to depart the U.S. after your program is over.
@@Khal.eahh. That's fine as well. It would just help your case. Good luck!
@@Khal.eahh. Probably not, but you'll have to check with the airline.
