Meaningful Professional Immersion in the U.S.
Through experienced visa sponsorship, AIFS Professional Pathways helps international interns and trainees pursue meaningful professional and cultural experiences in the United States—and helps U.S. organizations successfully welcome them.
For individuals abroad, we provide the guidance, resources, and support needed to navigate the J-1 visa, gain hands-on experience in your academic or occupational field, and make the most of your time in the United States.
For host companies, we provide expert visa guidance, compliance oversight, and ongoing support to facilitate successful J-1 programs. From eligibility assessment and federal document issuance through program completion, we make sponsorship streamlined, responsive, and easy to navigate.
