International J-1 Visa

[Keri_07]

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone from Australia has done this program on the 12 month J-1 visa? Also do you get the 30 days of travel at the end? I had a look on the website and it says once you finish working you have to return home but other J-1 programs give you a 30 day grace period where you can travel :s I'm just a tad confused on how it all works.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi there
I am also from Australia and considering applying. I am currently at university and turn 24 in February... this might sound silly but is that too old? Thats my main concern :-(
Does anyone know the process after applying, like phone interview, what questions might be asked etc
Hopefully things work out for us both!
Cheers
