Participants should plan for monthly living costs while in the United States. Actual expenses vary by location and lifestyle, but estimated monthly costs may include:
Some internship or training placements may offer a stipend to help offset living expenses. Stipend amounts vary by host organization and location and typically range from:
Withdrawal After Application submitted: Participants who request withdrawal from the program after submitting the application but before the DS-7002 Form is issued are eligible for a refund. Participants will receive a full refund of the program fees paid, excluding designated non-refundable fees (such as the Application Fee, SEVIS Fee, Shipping Fee, and Site Visit Fee- if applicable). Refunds will be processed within 30 days of receiving the official refund request.
Withdrawal After Issuance of the DS-7002 Form: If a participant chooses to withdraw from the program for any reason after the DS-7002 form has been issued, no refund will be granted. This policy accounts for the administrative expenses associated with creating the SEVIS profile and generating the DS-2019.
Visa Denial: In the event of a J-1 visa denial, participants must notify Vista J-1 Exchange, LLC within 5 business days and provide proof of the denial. This proof must include:
Upon verification, the participant’s SEVIS record will be canceled, rendering the DS-2019 invalid. The participant will be eligible for a refund of the program fee, minus $450, which will be retained to cover the administrative costs of Vista J-1 Exchange, LLC. The refund will be issued within 30 days of receiving the required documents and request.
Embassy/Consulate Delays: Vista J-1 Exchange, LLC holds no financial responsibility for delays outside our control at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, including appointment shortages or visa processing delays. Refunds will not be issued for any program time lost as a result of such delays.
COVID-19 Related Withdrawals: Participants who withdraw due to COVID-19 after the issuance of the DS-2019 form are not eligible for a refund. However, they may postpone their participation and apply their payment as a credit toward a future program.
Termination Due to Non-Compliance: Participants will not receive a refund if they are dismissed from the program for violating rules, regulations, or policies. This also applies if the host company terminates the placement due to misconduct or policy breaches.
Cancellation After Arrival: No refunds will be granted if the program is canceled after the participant has arrived in the United States. Additionally, if the participant is dismissed or laid off by the host company for any reason—including COVID-19 impacts—no refund will be issued.
Host Company Cancellation: If the host company cancels the placement after the DS-2019 has been issued but prior to the program’s start date, a refund will not be available. The participant is permitted to defer their program and apply their payment as a credit for a future placement.
Non-Refundable Fees: SEVIS fees, visa application fees, mailing/shipping fees, and insurance fees are non-refundable.
Overstay and Visa Infractions: Participants are required to disclose any past visa infractions or overstays during the initial application process. If participants fail to report this information and their visa is subsequently denied as a result, they will be ineligible for a refund.
We offer a variety of convenient payment methods to make your experience seamless. Choose from credit card payments, bank transfers, or PayPal options to meet your preferences. This flexibility ensures that all participants and host organizations can easily manage their fees.
Certain fees are strictly non-refundable. The U.S. government Visa Application Fee ($185) is non-refundable even if your visa is denied. Administrative fees, such as the Change of Host Company fee ($1,100), are also non-refundable if your request is denied by VISTA J-1 Exchange.
The mandatory SEVIS Fee ($220) must be paid online before you attend your visa interview. The Visa Application Fee ($185) is paid when you schedule your appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Yes. The program fees cover your sponsorship and administrative costs. You are responsible for your roundtrip airfare (estimated at $1,500), housing, and daily living expenses.

If you fail to adhere to the rules, regulations, and requirements set by VISTA J-1 Exchange, your program may be terminated prematurely. In this event, you will be required to return home immediately without any refund of your program fees.
