Cultural Exchange Programs (Q-1 Visas)

     The Q-1 visa is for foreign nationals employed in cultural exchange programs. The program must expose Americans to aspects of a foreign culture as part of a structured program, and this cultural component must be an essential and integral part (not independent) of the employment or training. The program, and the alien's qualifications to communicate effectively about his or her home country as part of the program, must be approved by the USCIS. The Q visa is limited to 15 months, and the foreign national must establish an intent to return to his home country after the completion of the Q period of stay. Spouse and minor children are permitted to accompany the principal Q visa holder.
