Hello: I am part of a committee that will be submitting an application to the State Department for Sponsorship of J1Visas for exchange teachers and students studying abroad. Participants will be responsible for purchasing their own insurance. However, as part of the application requirement, I must provide proof of my insurance company agreement. Through my research,I have read a lot of good reviews from your company. If I select your company, what attractive package deal can you supply us with from day 1 of their arrival? Requirements: 8.3.1.4 Insurance Each exchange visitor and accompanying spouse/dependent is required to have insurance in effect that covers them for sickness and accidents during the period of participation in the program.
