#J1jargon Translator: A Guide to J-1 US Visa program vocabulary


WELCOME TO THE T4H #J1JARGON TRANSLATOR

I have started this #J1jargon blog to help students in our J-1 program when they face miscommunication. It is here to help you understand all of the terminology J-1 recruiters, visa sponsors and the U.S. embassy use, when you are applying for your J-1 adventure!

We have all been educated in the English language through different sources, whether this is through formal classroom training, the music you listen to, the newspapers or books you read or the endless Friends episodes that are repeated on TV. Because of these diverse methods of learning, there is sometimes miscommunication. That's what this blog is here to prevent, so you can be more successful as an applicant when you are ready to apply for your J-1 Program.

THE BASICS

So let's start with the basics and explain what the J-1 is and what Jargon means, as that's the entire point of this blog.
