J1 without usit/sayit?

    I've already booked my flight to the US, I have a job that I do online over here that I get paid for, but now it seems like I won't have enough work with that job to support myself over there.

    Since I've already booked my flights, I'm assuming now that I can't get the J1 through USIT/SayIT etc. Has anyone got any advice on doing the J1 by myself through the embassy. Their 'VISA info line' costs €2.40 a minute so I'd like to find out as much as possible before calling them up

    With sayit you can book your own flights i think.But at the moment i think the earliest you can go is like 6th of june because of the backlog on the embassy interviews.there is some american sites that will sort out the visa for you as well i'll have a look later and c if i can find them for ya.

    Still looking for this, can't find anywhere else that will do it. Does anyone know if I can apply for the J1 through the embassy myself?

    For the J1 you need to fill out a DS-2019 form which you can only get from the sponsorship organisation(usit, sayit etc.) who will then put you on a Servis system and you then need to present yourself at the embassy for an interview.

    The current waiting time for interviews is
