As soon as InterSwop will receive the DS-2019 order form and the processing fee of Euro 60,- by PayPal (or equivalent in other currency), your DS-2019 application will be forwarded to the USA on the same day.
You will be informed within the next 48-72 hours by email from the USA about the next steps to issue the DS-2019 form, also how and when you have to pay the USD 750/795/995/825/870/1.070/1.270 issuing fee, depending on the length of your internship/training.

The DS-2019 form will be issued in the USA. This lasts about 30-45 days depending on the postal mail duration and how soon you or your host company in the US could provide all necessary data.

Generally you need to provide a CV in English, one reference letter in English, information about the insurance during your stay in the US. And your host company needs to provide a training plan (DS-7002). You and your host company will receive detail information about these items by email.

You will receive your DS-2019 form via UPS, FedEx or other postal service.

Once you received the DS-2019 form you can apply for the J1 visa at the nearest US consulate/embassy. You have to go personally to the US Embassy and you have to get an appointment beforehand. The next available appointment could be in several weeks ahead. You should apply for a personal appointment at the US consulate/embassy by time! The visa issue will last about approx. another 2 weeks.

You should initiate the whole DS-2019 and J1-visa procedure by time. The best would be with a lead time of about 3 month before planned departure to the USA. Unfortunately many applicants are applying very late and also booked a flight to the US without having ensured to obtain the J1-visa by time.
