The J-1 Visa for an internship in the U.S.
For an internship/training in the U.S. a J-1 exchange visitor visa is typically required. The German American Chamber of Commerce is an official sponsor for J-1 visas in the categories of "Intern" and "Trainees" and can help you in obtaining your J-1 visa.
One can only apply for a J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa for an internship/training in the United States by submitting the DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility at a U.S. Consulate in your home country. The German American Chamber of Commerce New York (GACC) is a non-profit organization, officially authorized by the U.S. Department of State (DOS) to issue the DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility to interns.

GACC's Club J-1
The J-1 visa program offers participants a unique opportunity to experience the U.S. and its diversity and to connect directly with Americans. The cross-cultural component of the internship experience is critical to the short-term success of each individual exchange, and to the long-term effectiveness of the Program and of U.S. public diplomacy overall. People-to-people programs provide unlimited opportunity for exchange visitors and Americans to engage with each other, to inform exchange visitors’ thinking about the United States and its place in the global community, to break down prejudices and misunderstandings, and in the long-term expand and strengthen the relationships between Americans and the rest of the world.
As a participant in GACC's J-1 visa exchange program, interns will have the opportunity to join the "Club J-1". This is a network of J-1 Interns and their friends from all over the world. It is a perfect opportunity to expand their network and to join cross-cultural events.
