Don’t mind Trump! The J1 Visa has been extended by THREE years
And breatheeee.
President-elect Donald Trump put the worry into students everywhere when he said he wanted to abolish the J1 Visa programme for Irish students, but you can now let out a huge sigh of relief as it has been extended for another three years.
Even though when Trump goes into office he has the power to repeal this decision, it is said to be welcomed by both the Irish and American governments.
HOWEVER, there's one major catch. If you're planning to go during your summer holidays, there could be major setbacks as the extension, so far, does not include the 90-day Visa.
It only relates to the 12-month Visa.
Donald has removed his views about the J1 on his website and his latest policy on immigration, so don't worry, there's still hope.
