Students going on a J1 working holiday with USIT have blasted the company’s poor communication, with many unsure when they'll be able to fly out due to delays in visa processing

STUDENTS TRAVELLING TO the US this summer on a J1 visa with USIT have blasted the company’s poor communication, with many unable to complete key steps in the application process just weeks before they’re due to fly out.

But in recent weeks, many have been left waiting to receive forms in the post or emails regarding the application process, and have said USIT is leaving them in the lurch. Lacey is an American citizen and therefore does not have to apply for a visa, but she said that organising to go with friends who do “has been the biggest nightmare of my life, and I am not even dealing directly with them [USIT]”.

Students who are still waiting to receive their work papers should request a delay to their start date from their US employer, the spokesperson said. Trinity student Jenny Dolan said she moved her flights back a week because she was still waiting for her application to be fully processed. “I feel like the biggest stress has yet to come … I still have not gotten my visa and I’m supposed to leave three weeks from now.”

After McMahon did receive the form, USIT emailed him to say there was a delay with his application and the form would be sent to him after his application was processed.

Really poor form UsitTravel My daughter and her friends applied last Nov and have jobs in different parts of the US, and still no Visas so flights and accommodation not sorted. Quick to take their money though. No one answering phones, emails unanswered. Shameful 😔😡
