Lee Posted January 9 Posted January 9 "The Philippine Embassy in Washington DC reminds the public that the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program visa is a temporary, non-immigrant program designed for cultural exchange. It is not an employment/work visa. "Filipino teachers should be aware that participation in the program does not lead to U.S. permanent residency or citizenship." "The Embassy has received reports of illegal recruiters, unscrupulous agents, and individuals posing as immigration lawyers who: Demand large sums of money for immigration assistance Promise U.S. permanent residency or citizenship through the J-1 program, and Encourage overstaying, misusing visas, or filing asylum claims solely to remain in the United States" Read more below.
