What this visa allows

The program allows you to live in the United States for at least one year, with the possibility of extending your stay for an additional 6, 9, or 12 months. You will work approximately 45 hours per week, with a maximum of 10 hours per day. You’ll have one and a half days off per week, one full weekend off per month, and two weeks of paid vacation per year. The host family will provide you with a monthly salary and cover your round-trip airfare. They will also offer accommodation and meals, as well as a stipend to take language classes or other educational courses. You can join the program at any time of the year, but we recommend starting the application process at least three months in advance, as there are several steps and requirements to complete.
