J1 2013!

oB1

Hey!

I took a bold move a week ago and applied for the J1 USA Work & Travel VISA for summer 2013, i was saving the 279e promotional offer so i went for it on the spur of the moment! :eek:

trouble is, i applied for it on my own, and its hard to get your mates motivated this time of year!

heading to the US to work and see the country is something i always wanted to do, so i couldn't pass up on the opportunity this year!:cool:

I'm hopeful i can gather a few to head with me, or even find a new group to go with!! cos it'd be a bit dry on my own :P

anyone else??

Yeah totally! - I actually put down the destination there the other day as i was asked on the spot (to secure cheap flights) i hadn't really thought a great deal about it, but i have always been fond of Florida :cool: - I put down Orlando thinking that with the theme parks and water parks, jobs would be flying around! - also.. a lot of fun to be had!! - I was told though that i can change the location, if i make the decision early... be great to go with a few people.. better craic.. woulnt be alone.. cheaper rent

etc etc..

I registered for a visa before the deal ended, and booked flights to Boston, I had hoped some of my friends would get visa's aswell but none of them have actually went through with getting the visa. I don't know anyone going either.

Pretty Much the same as me, started off with a few of us going, i went ahead and booked it, and the fights.. everyone else dropped out..

I have booked Florida, as i really wanted to go somewhere warm... would you be willing to look at other places? - I would be too, but was really looking at warm states, (Florida, California)

Yeah I'd be willing to look at other cities, I'd probably stick to the east coast or maybe a little inland. It would all depend on the prices of the flights. I have until the start of March before the flights have to be paid.

I was so annoyed when my friends dropped out of the trip.

johnsmittenhous

yeh im in the same boat, ive applied for the j1, i havnt heard from my friends they have jobs, ill be up for looking into going and sharing accomodation and things.
