The J-1 Summer Work & Travel program is a US Department of State exchange visitor program that allows university students to work and travel in the United States for up to 4 months during summer break. You get a J-1 visa, work a legal job, earn US dollars, and experience American culture. Over 100,000 students participate worldwide each year.
You must be a current full-time university student in Lithuania (or another eligible country), at least 18 years old, and have conversational English skills (typically B1 or higher). You also need to be enrolled for the semester following your US work period. Most Lithuanian university students qualify.
Common J-1 jobs include hospitality (hotels, resorts), food service (restaurants, fast food), retail, amusement parks, and national parks. Most jobs pay $12-18/hour and many include housing. You can work in popular destinations like Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Colorado ski towns, Yellowstone, and more.
Everything you need: US sponsor program fee (DS-2019 issuance), SEVIS fee ($35), visa application fee ($185), J-1 medical insurance, our platform fee for job matching, document tracking, visa interview prep, and bilingual support. There are no additional fees. See the full breakdown.
Traditional agencies have offices, printed materials, and large staff. We're a software platform — our overhead is a fraction of theirs. The government fees and sponsor fees are the same for everyone. The only difference is the agency markup. Ours is €99. Theirs is €250-400+.
You don't pay anything to apply. The €899 fee is due after your application is approved and you're ready to start the visa process. We're also working on installment options for students who need them.
The VasaraUSA platform fee is fully refundable if your visa is denied. The US government visa application fee ($185) is non-refundable per US policy. Sponsor refund policies vary, but most offer partial refunds for visa denials. Lithuanian J-1 visa approval rates are near 100%.
Yes. The J-1 Summer Work & Travel program is operated by the US Department of State. VasaraUSA works with designated J-1 sponsors (like InterExchange) that are officially approved by the US government.

We don't cut corners — we cut unnecessary fees. The program itself is exactly the same.
J-1 Summer Work & Travel is an official US government exchange visitor program, running since 1961.
We connect you with US government-approved sponsors like InterExchange who issue your official DS-2019.
