We work with authorized overseas partner agencies around the world to recruit, screen, and prepare eligible university students for the BridgeUSA J-1 Summer Work Travel Exchange Visitor Program. Our partners are the primary point of contact for exchange visitors in their home countries and are responsible for conducting required interviews, verifying English proficiency, and ensuring applicants meet all BridgeUSA program eligibility requirements.

  • U.S. Department of State-designated BridgeUSA sponsor with a strong compliance record
  • Dedicated partner support team with direct access to AWA program coordinators
  • Streamlined DS-2019 issuance and SEVIS management
  • Full placement options with vetted host employers across multiple U.S. states
  • 24/7 emergency support for every exchange visitor you place
  • Transparent fee structure and clear program terms
  • Regular BridgeUSA compliance training and timely regulatory updates

All AWA overseas partners must agree to and comply with the following:

  • Conduct and document in-person or video interviews with all applicants
  • Verify English language proficiency through recognized assessments or documented interview evaluation
  • Ensure all applicants are bona fide full-time students at accredited post-secondary institutions
  • Provide applicants with accurate, complete BridgeUSA program information; misrepresentation of wages, job types, or conditions is strictly prohibited
  • Collect and submit all required application documents to AWA
  • Operate in compliance with all applicable local laws and the AWA partner agreement

AWA is responsible for vetting all foreign entities acting on its behalf. Overseas partners are subject to AWA oversight and annual documentation review, and must operate within the boundaries of their agreement with AWA and applicable DoS regulations.
