Work and Travel USA - Searching A Job - - Step by Step

LAI Step by step

1. First step is online registration on www.czech-us.cz. You do not have a VISA and you do not have enough time to search for an employer? Not a problem! LAI will pick you, based on your preferences, an employer from its own list with a housing guaranteed and a minimum wage of 7 USD/hour. Or you may choose an employer from LAI selection yourself. If you are interested in securing the program, scroll for the option 'W&T - LAI Jobs'. After the registration you will get login information to your Client Account on our web pages.

2. Right after we receive your registration with contact information you may start filling out LAI Online Application - LAI online application and uploading required documents. Once you have completed the application you will be allowed by the system to submit it for review. We will review it and submit the application further to LAI.

Most of the application documents are needed just in the electronic form except University Letter (Proof of Student Status in English language), which you will send to our address or which you will deliver in person to our office during regular office hours.

3. You will participate on the first Orientation meeting - Interview with us.

4. After successfully completed Interview you will download the contract of assistance with W&T USA program, which you will fill out, print out and sign in two originals and send to our mailing address or which you can deliver in person to our office. You will then receive one original back signed by us.

5. Once the initial administration procedure is finished your application will be sent to LAI for revision and processing (as step 2). Afterwards an invoice for LAI program fee will be delivered to each approved participant with a 14 day payment due date with the appropriate account information.

Notice: LAI won't issue the DS-2019 form (essential for visa application at the US Embassy) until the payment is received in full.

6. LAI will arrange communication with the employer selected from their database or will approve the employer you have previously selected and will send you a Job Offer. Then follows your employer approval by signing the corresponding Job Offer and other related documents. After signing the Job Offer you will receive a complete Job Agreement with full employment conditions. At the same time you will receive an upfront invoice from us with 14 days for payment due date. Payment should be accompanied with a variable symbol as invoice number. Job Offer must be secured 6 weeks before the Program Start Date at latest.

7. In your Client Account you will choose one date of the mandatory Pre-departure orientation (mandatory for first-time W&T participants).

8. You will attend the Pre-departure Orientation.

9. Next step is a Flight reservation to the location of the Arrival Orientation organized by LAI in USA (not mandatory) or to where the particular employer secures pick up or to the employer office location. After the reservation you will fill out the flight information and roomate request thus the employer is able to arrange pick up and corresponding apartment distribution. Meanwhile you will enter your flight information into your Online Application account.

10. Via mail or in person in our office you will receive your DS-2019 form - essential part of your visa application at the US Embassy.

11. !!You will register in the SEVIS system!!, remit the SEVIS Fee which equals 35 USD with your credit or debit card and print out the receipt = form I-901 (SEVIS receipt). This electronic receipt is a part of the visa application documentation during the interview at the US Embassy. Original form of the receipt will be sent to the address you will enter during the SEVIS registration.

12. Once you have received your DS-2019 form you will pay a visit to the US Embassy website, where you will fill out electronic version of DS-156 and print it out in maximum quality together with generated barcode. Then with the barcode number you will register your appointment at the embassy. Afterwards you will remunerate US Embassy fee and courier fee and will attend the appointment on the particular date.

13. In couple of days (2-3 business days) following the appointment you will receive your passport back with the visa via courier service you previously paid for. You will check all data of the visa!!

14. You are flying over to USA and attending the Arrival Orientation (not mandatory).

Arrival Orientation is already included in the LAI program fee on the contrary to other visa agencies where students have to pay additional fees.

15. You are travelling to your employer. You will arrive to your employers office, fill out required immigration and tax documents and accommodate yourself...

16. You will validate your status in the SEVIS within 7 days after your arrival to USA. Not conforming to this regulation may lead to your visa termination.
