I work in a tourist town that only stays operational by bringing in thousands of J-1s each summer, and it honestly looks to me more like trafficking more than a legit use of the J-1 program - housing tied to job status with instant evictions if you lose a job, that kind of thing. I've always felt like the whole program feels sketchy with the way it is used here. Is there a good resource for understanding what is actually legal or not in the context of J-1 workers, so I can know for sure when a company in town crosses the line?


The State Department's website has very good information on the J-1 regarding the employer's responsibilities and the worker's rights.
