Each year the Consular section of the Embassy of United States processes thousands of visa applications for Dominican University students wishing to participate in the program "Summer Work/Travel". This program allows them to learn more about United States and share their culture and ideas.
Local recruitment agencies provide information about accommodation and employment, preparing lists of job opportunities and help the participants find jobs in the United States. These agencies charge an additional fee to the visa application fee. We recommend that, before choosing an agency, seek opinions and recommendations from friends, colleagues and University.
Participants in the program "Summer Work/Travel" must:
. Speak English fluently enough to interact in an environment where only speak this language.
. Be a full-time student in an accredited college or University Dominican having completed at least one semester; and
. Be hired by a company before applying for the visa.
Visa applicants must bring documents such as records of notes of the University, and must also interview in English. If you fail to comply with the requirements, start the preparations now so that you can participate in the summer of 2017.
"Use the system of deposit of documents - unless you need to travel now."
Some people do not need to apply for a U.S. visa to attend an appointment at the Embassy. This applies to the majority of people who renew visa from paseo de multiple entries and children under age 5 whose parents have a valid tourist visa. This option is very convenient to people who meet these requirements, since only deposit the documents to be processed. However, this process takes time and is not recommended if you need to travel urgently.
If you need to renew your visa, make your request with as long in advance as possible. You don't need to wait until your visa is expired! Request time allows you to take advantage of this deposit documents. If you must travel urgently, you must make an appointment at the Embassy for your application to be processed quickly.
