Hi Reddit,

I am a South African student finishing my studies in June. I am interested in working in the US for a few months. Was hoping to go between Jul/Aug till Feb. Now all the places I have contacted on have seasonal options (all were companies who do your placement etc.). They tell me about the J1 visa opportunity but that is Nov to Apr and I need to be back by Feb for further studies. does anyone have any advice for a situation like this, as in between two seasons? I'm not really sure how to go about this by myself which is why I tried to go through companies.

Even checked Canada but most placements are full and the one company told me the visa takes up to four months, which is too long for my case.
