The regulations state that a primary purpose of
the Exchange Visitor Program is to foster the exchange of ideas between
Americans and foreign nationals and to simulate international collaborative
teaching and research efforts. The exchange of professors and research
scholars promotes interchange, mutual enrichment, and linkages between research
and educational institutions in the United States and foreign countries.
Educational and cultural exchange distinguishes the Exchange Visitor Program
with its J visa status from other immigration categories.
