- Student VisasUniversity Students: The J-1 student visa category is for those students who are pursuing a full-time course of study at an accredited college or university, or who are receiving English language training at an accredited educational institution. J-1 students may be employed in an area related to the academic course of study as long as the school officer asserts that the employment is related. Alternatively, J-1 students may be employed in part time on-campus employment (no more than 20 hours a week), or if the employment is part of a scholarship or fellowship. This employment authorization is valid until the course of study is over, or 12 months, whichever is less. Following the completion of studies, J-1 students may obtain an additional period of up to 18 months of practical training and post-doctoral students can obtain up to 36 months of post graduate practical training.
