Info for Dependents
Dependents of J-1 visa holders, including spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21, may accompany the J-1 scholar to the United States on J-2 visas. Dependents are eligible to study in the U.S. and may apply for employment authorization, which allows them to work legally in the U.S. However, it's important to note that the primary purpose of their presence in the U.S. should be to support the J-1 scholar in their program activities.
