    Hi all :)

    Hoping to take a year out after the leaving cert and defer college for a year. Just wondering does anybody know is this possible to do? I've read a couple of posts on this forum but it seems anyone who did it was taking a year out from college not a year out before.

    Can anyone give me any help ie. what visa I might be eligible for or any advice in general? Thanks

    you need to be in college to be eligible for the one year working visa

    if you apply to college and then defer the place you MIGHT be eligible for it but you will have to call usit or one of the other companies

    You could always get a visa to study in New York, if you cant get around the whole not being in college thing. You would have to have some sort of acceptance from a college/university over there and there would be some sort of restriction on you working over there. But an option nonetheless.

    Otherwise, try just googling "gap year" or something. You could always go down the internship route or some volunteer work. If you can get into that then getting a visa wont be so bad.
