The Department of State recently emailed J‐1 exchange visitor sponsors to announce that it plans to conduct on‐site inspections of J‐1 internships and training programs.
The visits may be both planned and unannounced. J‐1 inspectors may want to speak with responsible officers, supervisors, employees, trainees, and interns, and to inspect facilities, housing, and health insurance arrangements. Inspectors also may review signed Forms DS‐7002, Training/Internship Placement Plan, for interns or trainees.
