Getting There

DS-2019
Once you have been accepted by The Ritz Carlton, your DS-2019 form will be issued by our program sponsor. The DS-2019 form is the official US Government document, which allows you to work legally in the United States. This document is presented to the US Consulate when applying for the J-1 training visa.

DS-7002
There is now a standardized format for the training plan that the employer and intern/trainee must complete. This document is referred to as the DS-7002 and must be completed and signed by both parties before the DS-2019 can be issued.

J-1 Visa
The J-1 training visa is valid for the length of your training period, a maximum of 12 months. There is a 30 day grace period for travel after your internship finishes. All participants must attend a personal interview at the U.S. Consulate. Awesome Placements will assist you with all your visa arrangements and visa application.

The final decision regarding visas is always at the discretion of the US Consulate.
