Apply for J1 Visa

J2 Visa

Family members of a J1 visa holder may apply for a J2 visa. The spouse and unmarried children (under the age of 21) may accompany the J1 visa holder to the United States. J2 visa holders can stay in the USA as long as the J1 visa holder remains in official status.

To receive the DS-2019 to apply for a J2 visa, please submit the following documents:

  1. A completed J2 application form
  2. A clear copy of a marriage certificate OR, if a dependent, a copy of a birth certificate
  3. If the marriage or birth certificate is not in English, an official English translation of the certificate
  4. Intrax needs a letter from the J1 visa holder stating that the J1 visa holder possesses adequate financial resources to support the J2 applicant
    • If the J1 visa holder is already in the USA: copies of three J1 pay stubs from the preceding months must accompany the application
    • If the J1 visa holder is not in the USA: a bank statement
  5. A non-PO Box address where FedEx can deliver the DS 2019 form and a local phone number

J2 Visa Fee

The administrative fee for the DS-2019 for J2 visa applications is 400 € / £ 340 for the first month (including medical insurance) and 40 € / £ 34 for each following month.
