Seasonal hiring can translate to savings. Through the J1 visa program, US businesses can hire seasonal staff, international interns, support staff, and summer camp counselors to fill in their seasonal and international trainee positions. For those who are unfamiliar with this program, a J1 visa is a visa issues by a consular officer at the US embassy of a country that facilitates the entry of qualified applicants to the US. The visa is usually good for one, two, or multiple entries and usually lasts for 4 months, though may sometimes be extended for additional six months. Those with J1 visas are allowed to work for up to four months from the date of their entry into the country. They can also train and travel legally in the US. Students, trainees, interns, and seasonal staff can work and earn money through this visa while experiencing how is it to live the US.
