The Applicant is expected to abide by laws and regulations in the U.S.,
especially rules and regulations of the U.S. State Department’s J-1 Visa
Exchange Visitor Program, International Exchange and Business Training
Program and Host Training Company or Organization. In case of violation, the
Applicant will be immediately terminated from the program and his/her
personal visa file will be transferred to the U.S. State Department.
The Applicant must remit the application fee, training program fee prior to
receiving the Form
DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility for issuing a J-1 visa). ICLS will not
start working on J-1 visa application if no fees are submitted by the
requested deadline. Delays are not accepted.
If the Applicant withdraws after having submitted 50% of his/her program fee
and after receiving the confirmation from ICLS that he/she is qualified for
the program and that a professional training is possible, 25% of the program
fee will be refunded.
If the Applicant withdraws after accepting of the IEBT/ICLS’ training offer
(Letter of Offer), 50% of the program fee will be refunded.
If the Applicant withdraws after accepting ICLS’ Letter of Offer along with
the DS 2019 Form and Training Plan for issuing a J-1 visa with a placement
agreement, no refund will be given. The DS 2019 Form will be voided and sent
to the U.S. State Department.
If ICLS is unable to arrange a suitable training placement, the remitted
program fee will be refunded except nonrefundable registration fee and
administrative costs spent in preparing a J-1 visa package and training
placement.
If the J-1 visa is denied by the U.S. consular or by the U.S. Immigration
Officer at the U.S. Port of Entry for reasons beyond the applicant’s
control, the program fee will be refunded less the $150 registration fee and
$150 administrative costs.
ICLS is not responsible for J-1 visa denial or for its refusal at the U.S.
Port of Entry. The Applicant will receive assistance on matters pertaining
only to his/her J-1 program but does not guarantee positive solution if the
matter is beyond ICLS sponsorship.
The Applicant assumes responsibility for finding appropriate housing for the
duration of training and is obliged to provide to ICLS contact information
(contact name and address).
The Applicant is obliged to cover the costs of international and domestic
travels to and from ICLS, unless the home-country employer or future U.S.
Host Company accepts responsibility for these costs.

transportation, unless the home-country employer or other
company/organization will cover them. A proof of financial coverage must be
submitted with the application.

application fees.
