All fees are paid by the applicant at different stages as the application progresses. There is a registration fee, an interview fee after matching with an employer, placement fee and then the balance before DS 2019 form issuance. Once issued, we proceed to set up a visa interview by paying the visa fee directly to the embassy and then buy flight tickets upon visa approval.

• Hospitality industry posts often come with a loan from employers that cover program fees, but this is not a one size that fits all. It differs from different employers.
• Some farmers will help with ticket fares when an application reaches that stage.
• G2U has a long waiting list for program admin fees only on loan.

• 15 Dollars per hour average for the USA.
• 14 Euros per hour for Germany.
• Accommodation is arranged and costs vary from different states and company benefits, this gets discussed during the interview and students receive a training plan that outlines where they will reside, what it will cost, responsibilities, expectations, employer contact information and assigned program coordinators details for support.

• USA J1 visa programs cannot be extended. Strong home ties are among the strong reasons they evaluate before approving visa because they discourage people from overstaying their visas. There is 2 years waiting period to re-apply.
• Germany visas can be extended up to 3 years depending on the employer’s preference.

We have a refund policy paperwork that forms part of all paperwork needed prior to submitting a complete application to our partners (CHI and Bixter)
