Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re an international student looking for an internship in the US, you’ll first want to figure out if you need the F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. In some cases (like the J-1 visa) you’ll also need a sponsor. Once you know which visa you’ll be applying for, it’ll be easier to get an internship, either by searching online or through your university.
After finding viable internship opportunities, you can either apply through a program provider or directly to the company you’re interested in interning at. You’ll need to present your resume/CV and (most likely) a cover letter, as well as proof of English language proficiency and visa eligibility.
There are internship opportunities all across the USA! Depending on your field, some locations might be more relevant than others. For example, if you’re interning in technology or computer programming, California is probably a good place to start looking.
If you’re a US citizen, it’ll be easier to find paid internship opportunities in the US. In certain cases, international students are also eligible for paid internships. There are stipulations that allow you to be paid on both the F-1 and J-1 visas, so be sure to ask your internship provider about this.
To intern in the US, you’ll either need a F-1 student visa or J-1 exchange visa. The F-1 visa is for international students who intend to study full time in the US (but allows up to 20 hours of work per week in approved settings), while the J-1 exchange visa is intended for cultural exchange participants.
