We spent last week on Capitol Hill for #2025AdvocacyDay, alongside our colleagues from Au Pair in America, Camp America and Academic Year in America. We joined forces with over 160 industry members under the leadership of the Alliance for International Exchange to meet with Congressional staff to advocate for international exchange programs. Our discussions focused on how international educational, professional, and cultural exchanges foster global political and business networks that strengthen diplomatic relationships, bolster national security, and contribute to economic growth. Not to mention, transform lives. In 2023 alone, #BridgeUSA participants contributed at least $811.2 million to the U.S. economy, with Intern & Trainee participants accounting for $264.2 million annually. Thank you to the offices of Representatives Young Kim of California and John Carter of Texas for taking the time to speak with our team! AIFS is one of the largest cultural exchange organizations, supporting over 40,000 individuals annually, and has served as a visa sponsor since the 1960’s. Bipartisan government support for these programs is critical to their success. #GlobalExchanges #LocalImpact #ExchangesMatter #j1visa #advocacy #j1sponsor #USimmigration

We were thrilled to be a sponsor at the?Bay Area Mobility Management?Annual Mobility Conference last week! San Francisco provided opportunities for valuable learning and for building meaningful partnerships with global mobility and immigration professionals. Connecting with our impactful community and shared resources is more important now than ever! We all benefited from insights into the current State of the Mobility Nation, presented by?Fragomen, WERC, Sophia Goring-Piard, and Jessica Edgerton, as well as an update on the new administration’s immigration policies from?BAL?and?Kelli Duehning. Just to name a few! We were reminded of several strategies to manage uncertainty, to stay optimistic, and remain action-oriented: → Be adaptable, psychologically flexible, and emotionally agile during times of change. → Maintain efficiency and clear, continuous communication on the latest immigration updates. → Ensure compliance with relevant programs. → Focus on relationship building and leverage the strengths of our internal cultures. → Strategize by offering additional pathways, resources, and referrals to clients. Our team is ready to support you with J-1 Trainee & Intern visa sponsorship. In these times of change, it’s a stable and low-risk option for continuous professional development.

From Ada Lovelace to Kono Yasui, Katherine Johnson to Mae Jemison, Flossie Wong-Staal to Andrea Ghez. Today we celebrate the achievements of women and girls in STEM, while advocating for gender equality and female empowerment in these critical industries! Women are still underrepresented in STEM professions worldwide. According to the United Nations, only one in five employees are women in new technology fields, such as AI; national science academy membership is only made up of 12% women; women receive smaller research grants and are underrepresented in high-profile journals. How can we change this? Through a conscientious commitment and resource allocation toward advanced education, training, and recruitment, and by elevating the valuable ideas and voices of women at the table — or in the lab. Investing in training talented, international women in the U.S. is a powerful way to close this gap - providing opportunities to gain hands-on experience, to develop leadership skills, and to both contribute and build their creativity in the most advanced, innovative institutions in the world! Empowering women in STEM strengthens industries, drives innovation, and creates a more inclusive future. Let’s continue to champion diversity and ensure women and girls everywhere have the resources to succeed in STEM! ?????? #WomenInSTEM #STEMGirls #GlobalTalent #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #Empowerment #Inclusion #science #STEMequity #innovation #culturalexchange

U.S. immigration is on top of mind for many. As a J-1 host or holder, what should you be most alert to? The answer: Compliance, preparedness, and patience. Recent executive action has no immediate impact on cultural exchange or business visas. Though, we will learn more about travel restrictions and additional vetting processes in the coming months. By continuing to participate in the J-1 program contentiously and compliantly, you are already doing the right thing! Extra due diligence can go a long way. Here are a few tips and reminders to provide you with peace of mind. #immigration #compliance #j1visa #visasponsor #globaltalent #globalmobility #preparedness #intern #trainee #visaexpert
