When applying for a J-1 visa in the United States, the essential documents required are the DS-2019 and the DS-7002.

The DS-2019 is the Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status, while the DS-7002 serves as
Tainning / Internship Placement Plan (T/IPP). This document outlines the specific training or internship that applicants will undertake in the United States and is a mandatory requirement for those entering the country for internship or training purposes. The DS-7002 details the roles, methodologies, objectives, benefits, and justifications of the internship program, as well as the specifics of the job responsibilities.

Before the issuance of the DS-2019, the training site must prepare the internship plan. The quality of the DS-7002 significantly impacts the approval of the DS-2019. While it is generally the responsibility of the employer to complete this document, inaccuracies may lead to a disqualification after a month-long review process. Therefore, it is common for the sponsoring organization to assist in drafting the plan.

Once the internship plan is prepared, it requires the signatures of both the employer and the applicant. If the sponsoring organization submits the plan, the DS-2019 can typically be issued within one to two days following a review.
