For J-1 Sponsors & Exchange Programs

When your exchange participants' families visit the U.S.

J-1 exchange visas are not subject to the bond program. The bond reaches your participants another way: parents and relatives visiting on B1/B2 — for a summer visit, a program finale, or an emergency — can be required to post a $10,000–$20,000 deposit if they're nationals of one of the 50 program countries. VisaDeposits places the deposit so the visit happens.

The problem your clients hit

A participant's parent approved to visit is asked for a five-figure, single-payment deposit on Pay.gov — in a family that just financed the exchange itself.
The money stays with the U.S. Treasury until the visitor's visa validity ends, well beyond the visit.
Support teams field the fallout, but the program has no tool to offer — until now.

How a referral works

Your client is asked for a deposit

At the B1/B2 interview, the consular officer requires $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 under INA 221(g). The visa cannot be issued until it's posted.

You send them our way

Share your link or make an intro. We confirm the case, quote one transparent fee (from $1,499), and answer the client in their language.

We place the deposit — you keep the client

The full amount is posted with our own funds as obligor, via DHS Form I-352B on the Treasury's Pay.gov — typically within two business days. The visa can be issued, and the client's savings never leave their account.
