Information from the Council on International Educational Exchange
Newport is a very popular destination for student workers from overseas –
particularly during the summer months. These visitors are usually holders of
a category of visa called J-1 Summer Work/Travel. This visa is a part of a
cultural exchange program that is overseen by the US Department of State.
All of these exchange visitors have a program sponsor. Employers who have
any questions about the program should contact the program sponsor for the
exchange visitor in question (the sponsor’s name and phone number is
included in the visa paperwork). A list of all sponsors can be found at:
http://exchanges.state.gov/jexchanges/.
The largest J-1 Summer Work/Travel sponsor is CIEE (the Council on
International Educational Exchange). CIEE is a Chamber member. If you have
any general questions about the program, please contact Jen Chandler at CIEE
(jchandler@ciee.org).
