Here are a few examples of past scenarios of types of visas to help for the future
J1 Visa
| Info |

The J1 visa is the preferred visa for events that have a fundraising requirement. However, we have been told that they can be very expensive. There is an “intern” visa under J-1 which requires an intern to have been either currently enrolled in a post-secondary college/university pursuing a foreign degree/certificate outside the US or recently graduated from such an institute within 1 year. |

We also had a participant who had a J1 Visa (this is an exchange student visa). With a J1 Visa they would be allowed to support raise for the event as an unpaid volunteer intern with the Mclean Activate Program. However, her J1 Visa was going to expire while she was attending the program. Our immigration lawyers told us that she was allowed to raise support for the program without any problems up until 30 days after the date the J1 VISA expires. At that point we would need to close the ability for donors to give to her as a solicitor of the event that she was raising support for. |
