Alexander

Alexander Hey there. I finished studying in December 2008 - If I apply for the 12 month working program, would that mean I would have to leave before December 2009?
Ideally, I would like to go in February 2010.

Hi Alexander,
Yes you must arrive in the US within 12 months of finishing your last class or exam at uni/tafe. So if that was 15th Dec 2008 you must arrive in the States by the 14th Dec 2009. Unfortunately you wouldn't be eligible go in Feb 2010.

Aiden McDowell I'm interested in applying for the summer working visa in America from November to February. I finish my studies at university at the end of this year in Perth. Am I still eligible for the summer working visa for November 2010 - February 2011?

Hi Aiden,
No if you wanted to do the Summer WATUSA program you would need to do it this year. You can't do it a year later. However the 12 month program you can do up to 12 months after you finsih classes, and you don't have to stay for 12 months if you don't want to.

Michelle Wong Hi, I am not actually a citizen of Australia although I am a PR holder. Will I still qualify, and if not, is there perhaps a more flexible program that I can apply for?

Hi Michelle,
The Work & Travel USA program is for Aussie or Kiwi citizens only. However some of our other programs such as Internship USA can be more flexible on this. Visit www.studentplacement.com.au for more info.

Hi Hose
Yes you're allowed to work in the entertainment industry whilst in the States. The only exception here is that you're not allowed to work in the adult entertainment industry.

If you meet these requirements please give our office a call and we can discuss what you need to do from there. Otherwise unfortunately most of our programs are aimed towards current students or recent graduates.

Hope this helps.

Chhunly Dear all,

I found this page is really interesting for me but unfortunately I am not Australian and New Zeland citizen so I could not join this program. How could the oversea student could join this program?

Many thanks,

Hi Tiv,

I'm sorry but the Work and Travel USA program is only open to Australian and NZ citizens. Perhaps you could contact your national embassy in Australia to see if your country has any similar program on offer.

Hi Emily,
Unfortunately we don't offer programs coming in to Australia, nor do I know of others that do, so i really can't be of much help here i'm afraid.
