What are the things that you want? What are the things that you don't like?
Do want to be place with your friends or do you want to choose a state?
Do you want to be in the front office department or do you want to be in the
food and beverage department? Before you give any money to your agency,
make sure that they're legit and they have the capability to market your resume
to the companies that you want to work with.
Because most of the time what happened to the students is they trust this
company to,
you know like a reservation slot and then they will pay them at least like $200
and they will wait for so many months just to know or just to learn that they
got scammed!

And for today's video we're going to talk about the step by step process when
you are applying for the J1 program.
So in this video you are going to learn how long does the process takes when you
are applying for the J1 program and also you will learn what are the next steps
for you. Like for example, when are you going to pay the program fee?
When are you going to have your job interview or your visa interview or
especially when are you going to submit certain requirements or documents that
may take time. In this way you can plan and organize your schedule ahead,
but before we dive into the video, we have an important shout out to do
[inaudible].
Now if you want to be featured in the next video,
well all you have to do is like this video and leave a comment down below or
take a screenshot of this video and post it in your Instagram story.
But don't forget to tag me at @rioworldwide.co so I can see your posts.
Now let's dive into the video.
So for the first step you will need to fill up an application in the application
form. You will need to provide your basic information, your contact details,
your educational background, and also your professional work experiences.
So once you submit all of these details,
you will now have to wait for the email that you are qualified or not.
If you're qualified,
then you can now proceed to the step two which is submitting your registered
documents
[inaudible].
So here are the complete list of the registered documents that you need to
submit. Number one, professional smiling
photo headshot only in JPEG format as an attachment and no large files.
All culinary applicants must provide a photo wearing chef uniform.
Number two complete mailing address number three,
copy of your passport must be valid three months after your program end date.
Number four diploma or graduation certificate .
If your diploma is not available,
you must submit the graduation certificate or letter issued from your university
and must be on school letterhead confirming the degree earned,
course of study and exact graduation date. Number five, transcript of records,
copy or clear screenshots of grades if transcripts not available.
Save as one PDF document and no large files. Number six, work certificates.
Certificates must
be signed and on company letterhead with company contact details stating your
name, position and dates you worked.
For trainees must have work certificates to prove 12 months paid hotel related
work experiences outside the United States.
Number seven two reference letters or training certificates.
It must be on a company letterhead and can be from school,
previous employer or training or seminars that you have attended. Number eight,
copy of any previous, the DS-2019 and US visa.
If you have previously worked or visited the United States before
[inaudible]
so the next step is Skype interview.
For the Skype interview you will be interviewed by a program coordinator of the
agency. Now on this part, I love calling it business deal interview. Why?
Because on this part you should position yourself like an investor,
you are investing in yourself to have a training in the United States,
which you will have to pay a lot of money.
So you want to make the most out of it or you want to make the most out of your
program or you want it to be super successful, right?
Because you are giving them a lot of money.
So in this way you should be clear with your goals.
What are the things that you want? What are the things that you don't like?
Do you want to be place with your friends or do you want to choose a state?
Do you want to be in the front office department or do you want to be in the
food and beverage department?
So after you and the program coordinator come up with the plan,
they will now issue an invoice. Which is the step four,
paying the registration fee.
Now I want you to listen very carefully because the first few steps or the first
four steps that I just mentioned earlier might be different on your case. Why?
Because all of the agencies have different processing and different way you know
to process your papers. So the first few steps might be first like orientation.
Second is you have to pay them. Third is submitting your application.
And then fourth is um, I dunno like paying again something.
So just a quick tip guys, when you are paying them money in front or upfront,
uh,
you need to be careful or you need to know if they are legit or not because most
of the time what happen to the students is they trust this company to, you know,
like a reservation slot and then they will pay them at least like $200 and they
will wait for so many months just to know or just to learn that they got
scammed, before you give any money to your agency.
Make sure that they're legit and they have the capability to market your resume
to the companies that you want to work with.
[inaudible]
so for the fifth step, you will now have your host company interview.
Now this is your time to shine, so give your best and make the most out of it.
But if you are still nervous or if you are not get confident to hop on in a job
interview, you can watch the videos that I have made before.
I will link it here in the card.
I made a lot of videos that will really help you during your, uh,
host company interview. So make sure to check that out.
[inaudible]
so after you pass your job interview, after that,
they will issue you an invoice and you will now have to pay your program fee
[inaudible]
so once you received your DS-Kit,
you will now have to pay the SEVIS fee and the visa fee.
Now after paying that stuff and once you're done with that step,
you can now proceed to the next step, which is booking your visa appointment
[inaudible]
when booking your visa appointment,
sometimes the U.S. Embassy in your home country can be busy and it may take,
you know, like two months from now.
So what you have to do is just wait and see what slots will be open because it
can change from time to time.
So make sure always check your U.S. Embassy website to know the latest update or
the latest schedule of what time slot you can book during that time.
[inaudible]
so the 12 steps will be attending your U.S. Visa interview in the U.S. Embassy
in your home country.
Now if you are not confident to have on in the U.S. Visa interview,
I also made a lot of videos and a playlist where you can watch and study and
learn and get tips from the videos that I made before I will link it here in the
card. But if you watch all of the videos and you still, you know,
if you think that you still need help then you can message me and book an
appointment with me so I can help you with your U.S. Visa Interview
[inaudible]
If you live in the Philippines. The next step for
you is attending the seminar,
which is the CFO orientation that is provided by our government.
But if you live in other countries,
I'm not really sure or hundred percent sure if they practice the CFO orientation
over there, but I'm pretty sure that you know,
you will still need to have an orientation in your home country just to make
sure that you know,
what are your rights and what are the things that you can do and you can bring
when you fly the United States.
And the last step for you will be booking your flights and once you book that,
you are now ready to go here in the United States and our I'll see you soon!
