available to interview you face-to-face. Both 14-day cooling off period and/or chargeback are not valid for CCUSA programs.
2. The application fee is non-refundable if the CCUSA country office or the CCUSA head office does not accept you on the program.
3. The acceptance fee will not be refunded if you cancel from the CCUSA program after acceptance or do not use your DS2019 form by the start date. In the case of serious
illness or death of you, a parent or sibling (doctor's written verification certificate required), only the acceptance payment will be refunded. All cancellations and
supporting documentation must be submitted in writing within 10 days of cancellation, otherwise no refund will be made. No refunds will be made for pre-existing
conditions.
4. CCUSA cannot be held responsible for visa rejections or delays in visa issuing due to processing delays on the part of the US embassy or consulate where you apply.
5. Placement Option participants not placed by 15th June 2025 will receive a refund of all program fees minus a 25% administration fee as costs have been made. In this event,
refunding the fees is the limit of CCUSA’s responsibility, as damages for non-participation are impossible to calculate.

was offered a refund of all program fees minus a 25% administration cost will be made.
7. Independent participants who have a job rescinded by their employer are not eligible for a refund of fees. All additional job verifications are still subject to a US$50 fee.

CCUSA Head Office in the US must authorize the change.
9. An Independent participant who submits a job offer that proves to be fake will be cancelled from the program without a refund.
10. Returnee program fees are non-refundable, no matter what the reason for cancellation is.
11. If you receive a Job offer on the Placement or Job Fair Option and refuse the Job Offer, CCUSA will try to find you another job, there will be no refund of fees for
participants who deny multiple job offers.
12. In the event the U.S Government rejects, suspends or amends your visa application in your home country, the fees paid to CCUSA are non-refundable. CCUSA strongly
advises you to apply for your J-1 visa only in your country of citizenship. Visa applications made in a country where the applicant is not a citizen or permanent legal
resident may face higher risk of visa denial. The U.S. Government requires additional documentation if you apply for your visa outside your home country. CCUSA cannot
be held liable for visa rejections.
13. In case of cancellation for any reason, CCUSA is not responsible for any other expenses incurred by the participant (e.g. U.S. consulate visa fees, transportation costs or
penalties, etc.).
14. Once you travel to the US and/or start your CCUSA program, there is no refund of any program fees, regardless of the reason why you cannot or choose not to continue
your program.
15. In case of cancellation of your application by yourself or CCUSA due to unforeseen circumstances (natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, emergencies, Presidential
Proclamations or Executive Orders), fees paid to CCUSA will not be refunded, but can be rolled over. When rolling over, 40% of the total fee due (if paid and not including
SEVIS, travel, visa fees) to CCUSA can be used as a credit for any CCUSA program when used within 12 months of cancellation.

participant.

which CCUSA will verify with the employer.

4. Your application form and supporting papers are legal documents. Any false, misleading or withheld information on your application or inappropriate behavior during your
interview, prior to departure for the USA or during your participation on the CCUSA program, is grounds for immediate cancellation from the program without refund.

may result in immediate cancellation from the program without refund.

check from your home country with an English translation.

Visa regulations prohibit working in any job position that:

a. could bring notoriety or disrepute to the Exchange Visitor program

2. While U.S. State Department regulations allow participants holding citizenship from a country that is on the US Visa Waiver Program to enter the US without a pre-
arranged job offer, CCUSA will not accept participants without a Job Offer. ALL participants must locate employment and submit a completed CCUSA Independent Job
Offer form prior to departure for the US. If you submit a job offer later than 1st April 2025 CCUSA reserves the right to not accept it. If we do accept your job offer after
this date, it is at the discretion of the CCUSA US office. If accepted, your requested start date must be at least 6 weeks from the date the job offer was submitted, and you
must pay a late fee of US$50. The State Department may require the completion of a DS-7007 outlining the full details of your pre-arranged job offer. If this regulation
goes into effect before you travel to the US, you will be required to comply.
3. CCUSA is required by US State Department rules for the visa to verify any job offer you submit. We will verify the legitimacy of the employer and contact them by

Page 2 of 6
 Work Experience USA [Summer] 2025 ID:
Program Agreement (WEUSA) - Jamaica
This agreement is between CCUSA Inc., (CCUSA) and you Jhenel Taylor a CCUSA
participant.

telephone and email to confirm the job offer and its specifics. If the employer does not meet the verification requirements or does not respond to CCUSA’s calls or emails
within 7 days, the job offer will be rejected. At this point, you can provide more details about the job offer or have the employer contact CCUSA directly. If a job offer is
completely rejected, you can submit a new job offer for verification, but you will be charged US$50 for the verification process of this second job offer. This second job
offer must be submitted at least 6 weeks prior to your requested start date.
4. CCUSA does not recommend the purchase of job offers from third parties and takes NO responsibility for any fraudulent job offers obtained through these parties. CCUSA
strongly recommends that you have direct contact with your employer to verify all job conditions BEFORE you submit the job offer to CCUSA for verification.
5. Once the job offer is verified, you are required to go to that employer or provide a new job offer to be verified. Please refer to the Program Rules and Verified Employer
section for more information. Please note: you are not allowed to work for ANY employer that your sponsor, CCUSA, has not completed the verification process. Doing so
will result in your termination from the program as required by State Department regulations.

II. Job (Virtual) Fair Option

1. The Job (Virtual) Fair Option is only available to those who attend and are hired by an employer at the CCUSA Job (Virtual) Fair.
2. You must be willing to commit to one employer for the dates and conditions on the Job offer.
3. If you are hired at the CCUSA Job (Virtual) Fair, you will be required to sign a Job Offer form before leaving the fair.
4. Your job offer is based on the availability dates you provided at the time of placement. If changes in your university break dates occur before you leave for the US, you
MUST inform CCUSA. The employer reserves the right to cancel your job
offer if your new availability dates are shorter than your original ones. In this case, CCUSA is under no obligation to find a new placement for you and cancellation fees
will apply. Once you depart for the US, you will be expected to complete the full dates on your job offer.
5. Once you are placed in the CCUSA system, you will be able to access a copy of your Placement Information/Job Offer through your Footprints account which will include
additional detail about your employer. You must return a signed copy of this job offer within 7 days of receiving it (after 1 May 2025 it must be returned within 3 days) or
the job offer will be rescinded, and you will be cancelled from the job fair option with no refund of fees.
6. CCUSA cannot guarantee that the job offer extended at the Job (Virtual) Fair will not be rescinded between the time it is offered and your departure for the USA. If an
employer rescinds the job offer, you can choose to have CCUSA replace you. If we do and you refuse the placement, no refund of any program fees will be given. We
cannot guarantee that the position or location will be the same as the original placement so any additional costs for transportation to this new employer will be your
responsibility. If we are unable to replace you, all but the application payment will be refunded.
7. CCUSA cannot guarantee that the conditions of the original job offer will not change. The number of work hours and possibly the position may change due to business
conditions at the time of your arrival.

III. Placement Option (available only to those able to work a minimum of 10 weeks)
1. The Placement Option is available to those whose completed application is in the CCUSA US office by 1 April 2025. Our primary consideration will be to find a job suited
to your skills and English language abilities.
2. You must be willing to commit to one employer for the dates and conditions on the Job offer.
3. Your job offer is based on the availability dates you provided at the time of placement. If changes in your university break dates occur before you leave for the US, you
MUST inform CCUSA. The employer reserves the right to cancel your job offer if your new availability dates are shorter than your original ones. In this case, CCUSA is
under no obligation to find a
new placement for you and cancellation fees will apply. Once you depart for the US, you will be expected to complete the full dates on your job offer.
4. A job offer can occur any time after acceptance and up to 15 June 2025. Since employers make all final hiring decisions, a job offer is not guaranteed.
5. CCUSA will inform you of your job offer, including the date you are required to report to work. You must return a signed copy of this job offer within 7 days of receiving
it (after 1 May 2025 it must be returned within 3 days) or the job offer will be rescinded, and you will be cancelled from the placement option with no refund of fees.
6. CCUSA cannot guarantee that the job offer extended at the Job Fair will not be rescinded between the time it is offered and your departure for the USA. If an employer
rescinds the job offer, you can choose to have CCUSA replace you. If we do and you refuse the placement, no refund of any program fees will be given. We cannot
guarantee that the position or location will be the same as the original placement so any additional costs for transportation to this new employer will be your responsibility.
If we are unable to replace you, all but the application payment will be refunded.
7. CCUSA cannot guarantee that the conditions of the original job offer will not change. The number of work hours and possibly the position may change due to business
conditions at the time of your arrival.

INSURANCE
1. CCUSA’s travel insurance policy is compulsory for the dates on your DS2019 form. The U.S. government requires that you have coverage for the full dates on your
DS2019 form. You will have to extend your insurance with CCUSA to cover the entire period you will be in the USA. For insurance coverage extensions before and after
departure, these can be done in your Footprints account.
2. Insurance date changes must occur before your insurance dates are locked in your CCUSA online account. Once your insurance dates are locked, you will have to pay a
US$50 change fee each time you make insurance date changes before leaving your home country.
3. Your policy can be upgraded from economy to premium prior to departure for the US for US$1.15/day. You can do this on your CCUSA Footprints account.
4. You can purchase an extension of your insurance prior to your departure to the US at a cost US$4.70/day (for economy plan) and US$5.85/day (for premium plan).
5. Once your policy has commenced, any extension must be made prior to expiration (all extensions contingent upon insurance company’s approval). Costs for extensions
once in the USA are US$4.85/day (for economy plan) and US$6.00/day (for premium plan). Specific terms of coverage are available on your online CCUSA account.
6. The insurance policy includes: accident, sickness and medical evacuation coverage. Insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions or car insurance. In the case of an
accident or illness it is your responsibility to submit a claim form with all original documentation and follow the procedures set out by the insurance company.
7. Neither ACEP nor CCUSA are the insurance company. All claims, processing, and queries are between you and the insurance company. Please see the insurance
documents provided before departure for full details of the coverage.

BRIDGEUSA J-1 SUMMER WORK TRAVEL VISA

1. The DS2019 form used to apply for the J1 visa will be issued (electronically) once you have a placement or provide a CCUSA Independent Job Offer form that CCUSA is
able to verify, have paid all program fees and confirmed your personal information through your CCUSA Footprints account.
2. Your visa dates will be a combination of the State Department approved SWT dates for your country, your specific university summer break dates and your own
availability. No DS2019 forms will exceed the total length of the approved visa dates for your country or your university break dates (whichever is shorter). These
restrictions apply to final year students as well. No extension is permitted beyond these dates.

Program Agreement (WEUSA) - Jamaica
This agreement is between CCUSA Inc., (CCUSA) and you Jhenel Taylor a CCUSA
participant.

3. If there are changes to your personal information or the dates of your program after the DS2019 is issued, there is a US$75 fee to reissue a new form. You must pay for a
full reissue of the DS2019 form if there are changes to any of your personal information (date of birth, place of birth, spelling of your name or the way your name appears
on the form), if there is a change in your program dates if longer than the original dates, or if you change your verified employer prior to departure
for the US. Please keep in mind the domestic shipping charge to send your DS2019 Form is US$50 in additional to the reissuing fee if a paper copy needs to be mailed. The
International shipping charge to send your new DS2019 Form is US$150 or more. If you are only making a change in your dates and the new dates are shorter than your
original dates, the charge is US$25.
4. The U.S. consulate charges fees for the processing of the J-1 visa. An additional fee of US$35 for the SEVIS system must be paid prior to your interview with the U.S.
Embassy or consulate. Your CCUSA office will have up to date information about all fees and payment procedures.
5. Any new fee associated with the SWT visa which may be levied between the date of this agreement and your entry to the US for the program must also be paid before you
can travel.
6. The J-1 visa permits you to apply for entry to the U.S. and legally work for the dates listed on your DS2019 form and NOT on the J-1 visa stamped in your passport unless
the two are the same. Some US embassies are now including the 30 day grace period in the dates on the J-1 visa they issue. You cannot begin work before your visa start
date.
7. You must enter the U.S. by the start date on your DS2019 form and validate your program with CCUSA within the required 10 days. If you know you are not going to be
able to travel to the US by your DS2019 start date, CCUSA requires that you have your DS2019 start changed. It is YOUR responsibility to notify your local office and
request a change to your program start date. Failure to validate your program within the required 10 days will result in a SEVIS status of “terminated” which means your
participation in the program has been cancelled.
8. It is a requirement of your visa that you are employed while on the program in the USA. Failure to maintain employment during the dates of your visa can result in the
early ending of your visa.
9. Provided you successfully complete your CCUSA Work Experience program, you may be eligible for a 30 day grace period after the end date on your DS2019 form. This
grace period is to prepare for your return home and/or to travel ONLY within the borders of the USA. If your university classes start before the end of this 30 day period or
if the US embassy in your country has set a specific date by which you must return home and if this date is less than 30 days after the end date on your DS2019 form, you
are not eligible for a full or partial 30 day grace period. If you do not successfully complete your CCUSA program and are terminated from the program, you are NOT
eligible for this 30 day grace period.
10. If you decide to travel outside of the borders of the USA, you must inform CCUSA before you travel. CCUSA is required to sign your original DS2019 form in order for
you to be able to enter the USA again.
11. As your US Sponsor, CCUSA must enforce all SWT J-1 visa regulations. SWT Visa regulations can be found at: http://j1visa.state.gov/.
12. Traveling outside the US during your BridgeUSA J-1 visa program dates will not be authorized by CCUSA unless it is due to a university obligation or emergency. You
must contact CCUSA BEFORE departing the US to request authorization and signature on your original DS2019 form. Re-entry into the US while on your BridgeUSA J-1
visa is not guaranteed and at the discretion of US border patrol.

PRE-DEPARTURE ORIENTATION AND TRAVEL

1. CCUSA provides a mandatory Orientation meeting in your country to give detailed information about the J-1 visa, program rules and life in the United States. U.S.
government regulations require that you attend this orientation. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your program without refund. This meeting is mandatory
for returnees as well.
2. You must pay for your own flight to the USA and to your employer.
3. You are required to give CCUSA your flight details to the US AND to the final destination of your employer and your return flight to your home country. Failure to do so
at least 2 weeks prior to arrival can result in the cancellation of your CCUSA program without refund.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND TAXES

1. In order to work in the USA, you must apply for and be issued a Social Security card. You can only apply for this card once you are in the USA. Apply for the card at a
Social Security office, using the instructions given to you at the orientation session in your country. You cannot apply until you have validated your visa with CCUSA
and downloaded your electronic I-94 card.
2. The Social Security Administration is a U.S. government agency and therefore, not in the control of CCUSA. CCUSA is not responsible for the time it takes to process
your Social Security number or for any costs you incur while waiting for your card. You must apply for a Social Security number MORE than 30 days prior to the end date
on your DS2019 form.
3. Many employers will not hire workers who do not have a Social Security number. CCUSA will only approve job offers from employers who agree to pay you on the basis
of receiving a copy of your Social Security application letter.
4. CCUSA does NOT recommend that you put the CCUSA address on your Social Security card application. If you do, we will charge US$50 for FedEx to send your Social
Security card to you within the USA. If we need to send your Social Security card internationally the fee will be US$150. You will need to provide CCUSA with payment
before the card will be sent.
5. The U.S. government requires that every person earning wages in the U.S. file a tax return for every year they are employed in the U.S. You will be required to file a return
for 2025 as a CCUSA Work Travel participant. CCUSA recommends Sprintax services to help you file for your tax return: https://taxprep.sprintax.com/uni-
lp.html?utm_ref=ccusalp. This process will be explained during your CCUSA pre-departure orientation.

YOUR VERIFIED EMPLOYER, PROOF OF FUNDS AND WAGES

1. All CCUSA Work Experience participants are required to go to the employer that CCUSA has verified. If there are serious reasons why you cannot go to your employer,
you MUST contact CCUSA immediately. We will consider all of these reasons and decide whether or not you are allowed to not go to the employer. If we do give
permission, in most cases, you will be required to have another job offer which CCUSA can verify after you pay the US$50 verification fee. Failure to contact CCUSA
or to report to your verified employer will result in the termination of your CCUSA Work Experience program.
2. You must report to your verified employer by the start date on the Job Offer form. Participants who cannot do this MUST contact their employer and the local CCUSA
office to obtain permission to change the start date and their program dates. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your Job Offer form. If you cancel your
participation in the program, no refund of fees will be given.
3. You must comply with your U.S. employer's rules and policies, including but not limited to rules and policies about such matters as personal grooming and drug testing. If
you take an employer drug test and fail, CCUSA will not be responsible for locating another job for you. You will be given a specific amount of time to locate your own. If
you are unable to locate a job within the required time, your program will be ended, and you will be required to leave the US.
4. Your payment while in the USA will usually be at least the minimum wage as set by the U.S. Department of Labor or mandated by state laws. Working and salary
conditions may change upon your arrival due to business conditions. Employers have indicated the number of hours they expect to give you on the job offer. You must
come with sufficient money to cover all of your expenses in the USA until you begin earning a wage. Participants with housing provided by their employer must bring a
minimum of US$1200. Participants who must arrange their own housing must bring a minimum of US$1800. Your travel to and from your employer from your port of

Program Agreement (WEUSA) - Jamaica
This agreement is between CCUSA Inc., (CCUSA) and you Jhenel Taylor a CCUSA
participant.

entry is not included in this requirement.

HOUSING
1. Unless your employer provides or arranges housing, you are required to make your own housing arrangements. CCUSA requires that you have accommodation for at least
your first two weeks (a full 14 days) in the US BEFORE traveling to the US. You must provide information about the housing arrangements you have made to the
local office via email and on your Footprints account at least two weeks before your departure date.
2. If your employer offers housing, it is usually on a first come, first served basis. Whether or not you arrange your own housing, or it is arranged through your employer, you
may be required to sign a lease and pay a deposit usually amounting to the first and last month's rent. CCUSA will provide you with housing information and leads for
specific areas of the US
as outlined on your Footprints account. Please note: if you locate an Independent Job Offer outside of the areas where CCUSA can offer housing assistance, you will be
required to provide details of your housing search before CCUSA will accept the job offer. Please consider this in your search for an independent job.

PROGRAM RULES AND REQUIREMENTS

c. Facebook: To obtain program updates and information, join our Facebook page once you are signed up for the program.
d. Instagram: To obtain program updates and information, join our Instagram page once you are signed up for the program.
e. For the duration of your time on the CCUSA program, you must take responsibility for returning our calls and replying to emails in a timely fashion. Participants, who
fail to respond to CCUSA phone and email requests, are indicating to us that they are no longer interested in this program to come to the USA and may have their
application cancelled after one warning. You are not entitled to a refund and no claims can be made against CCUSA.
f. CCUSA is your visa sponsor. Hostile or aggressive behavior by yourself and/or anyone representing you (including family) will result in immediate cancellation from
the program and the forfeiting of all payments.
g. In case of unforeseen circumstances (emergency or natural disaster) while on the program, it is extremely important you stay in contact with the CCUSA office and
respond to emails, text messages, WhatsApp messages and/or phone calls immediately. It is important you follow any and all directions given to you by CCUSA. If
you do not follow the directions given to you, you will be responsible for any and all financial consequences.
h. Understand that CCUSA or its affiliates or agents may, without liability, or expense to themselves take whatever action they deem appropriate with regard to your
health and safety and may place you in a hospital for medical services and treatment or, if no hospital is readily available, may place you in the hands of a local
medical doctor for treatment. You undertake to reimburse us, our agents or the employer in which you are placed for any expenses incurred by us or them in taking
any action reasonably considered necessary in the interests of your health and safety, which is not covered by the medical insurance policy. If deemed desirable by
CCUSA or its agents, you authorize them to transport you back to your country of origin at your own expense.
i. You agree to waive and release CCUSA and its affiliates, agents and employees from any claims whatsoever arising from any injury, loss, damage, accident, delay, or
expense resulting from events beyond its control, including without limitation acts of God, acts of war, strikes, incidents of politically motivated violence, terrorism,
pandemics, sickness or quarantine, government restrictions or regulations, and, in the absence of gross negligence (or negligence in the case of personal injury) by
CCUSA, arising from the use of any vehicle or from any act or omission by any agent or employee or guests of the individual, firm, or company in relation to
transportation to, from and within the U.S. or another facility or service organized on your behalf.
2. Visa Validation: U.S. government regulations require that all participants on the Summer Work/Travel J-1 program keep their program sponsors informed of their
whereabouts and program activities while in the USA. You must go to your Footprints account when you arrive at your work destination and provide the exact details of
your physical living address in the USA. Failure to do so no later than 10 days of the start date on your DS2019 form (and not the date you enter the US) will result in a
Terminated status in SEVIS. In addition, you are required to inform CCUSA within 10 days of any change in your housing after this initial contact. Failure to do so will
result in the automatic termination of your J-1 visa in the SEVIS system. This status in the SEVIS system means that you are not able to remain in the USA or to return to
the USA in the future.
3. Visa 30 Day Check-ins: Regulations require that you contact CCUSA every 30 days to confirm your living and working addresses and to answer questions about your
program experience. CCUSA will send you emails reminding you of this requirement. Failure to respond to emails or calls about the check-ins will result in the
termination of your program. You will have a 7 day grace period for your first 30 day check in but if you are late for any subsequent check-in, your CCUSA program will
be terminated as required by State Department regulations.
4. Cultural Activities: The Summer Work Travel J1 Exchange Visitor Program is not solely a work program but has a required cultural component. Participants must
participate in at least one cultural activity outside of work each week in order to expand their knowledge of American culture and life. CCUSA will provide you with
resources for cultural activities in the area of the United States where you are working. These resources are accessible through your Footprints account. In addition to
these independent activities, your employer and CCUSA may arrange activities within your US community. You will be required to report on these cultural activities each
month during your 30 day check in. Failure to participate in this required cultural component can result in the termination of your program. You must balance the amount
of time you spend at work in order to participate in these required cultural activities. CCUSA will take your overall work hours into consideration should you locate another
job in addition to your primary one. If the work schedule provided by your employer prohibits you from completing the required cultural activities, you must contact
CCUSA immediately so we can address the issue with your employer.
5. Employment: The SWT J1 visa requires that you maintain employment during your program in the USA. Failure to do so can result in the early ending of your visa.
Working for any employer that has NOT been verified by CCUSA will result in your immediate termination from the program as required by State Department regulations.
6. Actions that jeopardize your program status: The following actions can result in the termination of your program: failure to show up to your verified employer which
results in a No Show Status, failure to validate your program within 10 days of your DS2019 start date, failure to check in with your sponsor every 30 days of your active
program, failure to keep in contact with your sponsor CCUSA, refusal to respond and follow CCUSA instructions, working for a prohibited employer or for one not

verified by your sponsor, failure to participate in cultural activities, engaging in unauthorized employment, failure to pursue program activities, failure to submit a change of
current address within 10 days, failure to maintain health insurance, conviction of a crime, violation of Exchange Visitor Program regulations or violation of CCUSA
program rules, including failure to attend the mandatory Pre-departure Orientation meeting and leaving your US employer without following all CCUSA procedures (see
below). If you physically, verbally, or sexually assault another Exchange Visitor or another person, there will be consequences to your program status.
Participants terminated from the program will have their CCUSA sponsorship ended, their SEVIS status changed to terminated and be required to leave the US
immediately. Termination status can affect your ability to obtain visas to the US in the future.
7. Ending your program early: If you decide to end your program before the end date on your DS2019 form, you MUST follow the procedures for leaving an employer
early and inform CCUSA in the US. If your early departure is approved, we will change your SEVIS status to inactive and, provided that you have completed at least 50%
of your program, you can start your 30 day grace period.
8. CCUSA Work Experience reserves the right to change program rules, conditions and fees if any State Department regulations for the J-1 summer work/travel visa change
after the printing of this program agreement.

CHANGING, LEAVING OR ADDING A VERIFIED EMPLOYER

Changing Employers before departure for the US: Once you accept a placement on the Placement or Job Fair option or provide a job offer on the Independent option that
CCUSA verifies, you will be required to go to that employer or risk termination from the program. If you decide you do not wish to go to your verified employer, you MUST
notify CCUSA at least 30 days before you are scheduled to travel. If you are on the Placement or Job Fair option, you can change to the Independent option and travel
without a pre-arranged job. If you are on the Independent Option, you can cancel your verified employer and travel without a pre-arranged employer.

CHANGING EMPLOYERS AFTER ARRIVAL IN THE US

1. All CCUSA participants MUST go to the verified employer. Failure to do so will result in the termination of CCUSA’s sponsorship of your visa unless you have contacted
CCUSA AND obtain our permission to not go to the employer. If you are given permission to not go to the verified employer, you will be required to have a new job offer
that CCUSA can verify and pay the US$50 verification fee to the CCUSA US office. You will also have to pay for a reissuance fee of your DS2019 form.
2. To obtain CCUSA’s permission to change employers once you start working, you are required to discuss your situation with CCUSA. If CCUSA approves, you will be
required to work for at LEAST 2 weeks before you can give a two-week notice to your employer. (This means a minimum of 4 weeks of work at your assigned employer.)
In most circumstances, you will be required to provide a new CCUSA Independent Job Offer form BEFORE leaving the employer which CCUSA will verify for a fee of
US$50. You cannot leave your first employer or work for this new employer until you have CCUSA’s approval to do so. Failure to follow this procedure will result in a
terminated status in SEVIS which requires you to leave the US immediately and will jeopardize your ability to obtain future visas to the US.

WORKING FOR A SECOND EMPLOYER IN THE US

If you decide to locate another job in addition to your first one, you will be charged a US$50 verification fee for the additional job offer. CCUSA will take into consideration the
total number of hours you will work at both jobs as you must have sufficient time to pursue the required cultural activities.

LEAVING EMPLOYERS BEFORE THE END OF THE CONTRACT

All CCUSA participants are expected to complete the full dates on their job offer. If you want to leave the employer before the end date and NOT find another employer, you
must obtain CCUSA’s approval to do so. If permission is given, you will be required to give your employer two week notice and to work through the two weeks if your
employer requires this. You must
provide CCUSA with a completed Two Week Notice form. Failure to follow this procedure in full will result in a terminated status in SEVIS which requires you to leave the US
immediately.
If you do follow this procedure, CCUSA will end your program in SEVIS and you can begin your grace period – PROVIDED that you have completed the majority of your
employment assignment. The length of this grace period is determined by your university start date as you must return to your home country in time to start the next school
session. If you did not complete
the majority of your job offer, you will be required to leave the US immediately and provide CCUSA with the details of your flight home. Failure to do so may result in
termination from the program.
