Several weeks ago there was an article in the NYT regarding temporary workers from Eastern Europe employed as summer help in American tourist destinations. There may be a possibily of locating a couple of dozen potential employers willing to take on Ukrainian students for next summer. But......
The article states that these young people came in under J-1 visas. From what I can gather from the web J-1's are issued only to students studying here or to persons here to enhance their professional qualifications. Motel help, fast food positions etc. are specifically not eligible for J-1 employment. Yet it was just the type of jobs the students written about were employed at, and none were students here. Anyone able to clarify?
