Hi there, This is two Spanish girls with a couple of job offers in the Usa and looking for a couple more before deciding what we will be doing. We have an issue with the visa, we know that a bunch of agencies will do it for us, but we think it´s a little to much the amount of money they ask for, taking into account we have looked for the jobs by ourselves. We were wonderging how you got yours! Which company you paid to do it and how much it costed you. We are fine with paying some money, but we think that 800€ is just crazy!
Here in Vietnam, If we participate the WNT program through a local agency, the fee we have to pay for the agency is near $1000 doing all paperworks for their participant ...it's way over my pocket.... We will also have to pay $140 to register at the US Ambassy for the J1 visa interview as we know.... It seems as I read on internet that you can work directly with US Organizations that can legally issue J1 Visas.... I'm in researches to do that way too.... Good luck !
