    thanks for the reply...i rang the call centre and asked them that earlier because i saw it on here somewhere but they said there was no closing date for applications as of yet but it could change. do you know, if i am not eligable for the j1 is there any other way i could go to america for the summer and work legally?

    I think there's a few visas you can work on. I'm not too sure to be honest. That new J visa might be a possibility. I think you'd be eligable for the J1 to be honest,just you might have left it a bit late for this summer. I think the 'closing date' was only the last date for the visas to be free,but it still takes a while to sort out the j1 and it could be up to mid july before you get one. I guess it's worth a go though, you might get lucky.
