J-1 Visa Update

On July 25, the US House of Representatives approved by vote of 351 to 78 an amendment to attract exchange students to the U.S. and reverse the negative perceptions of the visa process.

It calls for a review of the application and issuance rates for F and J visas at every U.S. Consular post abroad.
