How do I submit my documents to participate?

What documents are required to register?
Completed application form
Copy of passport
Two references from previous employers or a university professor
Police clearance certificate and an English translation issued within the last 6 months
Interview in English with an IEC representative
Proof of funds
Copy of diploma (for graduates) or an official transcript and a document from the university confirming student status (for students)
Internship plan (Training/Internship Placemen Plan), completed by the employer in the USA
When should I submit my application to participate?
It’s best to submit your application 4–6 months before the program starts.
What is the DS-2019 form?
This form is extremely valuable — it’s the document you’ll use to apply for a J-1 visa. It’s an A4 document that only a very small number of organizations can issue: the program sponsors.
What is a J-1 visa?
This visa lets you legally do an internship in the USA.
What is the DS-7002 form?
This is the internship plan form, where your employer describes in detail every stage of the internship, your responsibilities at each step, and the experience you’ll gain by the end.
What kind of passport do I need?
You must get your passport for international travel no later than February 1 of the year you take part in the program. Important: despite rumors, current-style passports (i.e., those without biometric data) are valid — the U.S. embassy accepts them and will continue to accept them until those passports expire.
