J1 Work and Travel Employment Additional Form
NAME OF PARTICIPANT: _______________________________________________
I understand that the host employer address listed on my DS 2019 form is the only expected
employment site for me to report, start and work through the end of my Work and Travel
program. I’m only permitted to work at an approved site of activity. I’m not allowed to
change or leave my primary job without first discussing and getting written permission from
Janus! Janus will establish if such approval is possible. I may not accept employment at any
site or with any employer unless both the site and the employer have been authorized by
Janus International and those details have been entered into SEVIS. Janus International works
only with limited number of employers and starting any second or primary job at new
employer is subject to detailed vetting and verification by us, as the sponsor. Some
employers will not be approved to work as a second or primary employment!
The Janus International J‐1 second or primary employment vetting and approval process is
based on the employer’s cooperation in submitting all the required documents and replying
to sponsor’s emails or phone calls. Janus International cannot be held responsible for any
delays or job rejections due to non‐compliance of the US Employer. After we receive all the
documents we will take a look and let you know on our decision on vetting the new
employer. We won’t start any verification process unless all the documents fully submitted.
Again, there are certain jobs that are prohibited for J‐1 Work & Travel students.
Based on US Department of State program regulations, starting any job that has not been
vetted and approved by your sponsor (Janus International) is grounds for termination of your
program and SEVIS status!
