[ADVISORY] J-1 EXCHANGE VISITOR VISA IS NOT A PATH TO U.S. CITIZENSHIP

The Philippine Embassy in Washington DC reminds the public that the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program visa is a temporary, non-immigrant program designed for cultural exchange. It is not an employment/work visa.

Filipino teachers should be aware that participation in the program does not lead to U.S. permanent residency or citizenship. Please be reminded of the terms of the program:
• J-1 teachers are required to return to the Philippines after completing the program
• Filipino teachers are subject to the two-year home-country physical presence requirement. Waiver of this requirement is difficult to obtain, not guaranteed, and requires exceptional hardship or highly meritorious circumstances.
• Overstaying in the United States beyond the authorized period of stay is a serious violation of U.S. immigration law, and can result in deportation and long-term bans.

The Embassy has received reports of illegal recruiters, unscrupulous agents, and individuals posing as immigration lawyers who:
• Demand large sums of money for immigration assistance
• Promise U.S. permanent residency or citizenship through the J-1 program, and
• Encourage overstaying, misusing visas, or filing asylum claims solely to remain in the United States

Teachers who are J-1 visa holders or applicants are urged to participate in the program only with a clear understanding of its objectives and limitations. Those considering long-term immigration options must seek advice from a qualified U.S. immigration attorney.

For questions, please contact the Philippine Embassy (https://tinyurl.com/wdcpedirectory) or your nearest Philippine consulate (https://tinyurl.com/yck559z8)
