J-1 exchange visitors and NIE (National Interest Exception)
I am a Slovenian citizen, and I plan to do a 3-month student internship in the USA in December. I have everything arranged with my employer. The only question I have is, can I travel from the Schengen area on my J-1 visa? And if not, how can I come to the USA for my internship?
J-1 exchange visitors will be able to travel only if the visa is approved and they qualify for a national interest exception (NIE).

Folks at the Law offices of Rajiv S. Khanna are thorough professionals. My application was for H1B and was handled by Sirisha Durgam. These guys have been very responsive and know what they are talking about. I would highly recommend their services.
