The J-1 Irish Work and Travel visa program (known as the J-1 Graduate visa) is a U.S. cultural exchange opportunity. The visa program is for students and graduates who want to gain an excellent piece of international work in a placement related to their field of study, and to experience life in the United States. Do you have the strong organizational skills, strong work-ethic, and high levels of ambition? If so then you will succeed on the J-1 Graduate visa … and in doing so you will lay a great foundation for your career.

At the Rian Immigrant Center (formerly Irish International Immigrant Center/IIIC), we have helped over 3,000 Irish students and graduates start their careers through our program. Rian J-1 will support you throughout the entire process, including assisting you as you seek a suitable paid placement in your area of study.

"If I didn’t have this wonderful Center with the incredible people who work there, my experience would’ve been completely different. The support and encouragement, from the first time I walked into the office and throughout my year was truly immense. I will always be so grateful to the Rian Immigrant Center, it’s like being part of a big family who are there for you every step of the way."
"The J-1 IWT program is by far the best opportunity for graduates who want to gain vital work experience and go on a life-changing adventure. My J-1 IWT program to San Diego, California provided me with professional and personal development that was unparalleled to any other option."
