u/visa_anxious

Dear everyone,

I am a potential summer intern with UNHQ, but I was told that J-1 visa types are restricted to part-time employment of 30 hours a week. I was quite surprised, as I was excited at the prospect of working the regular 8 hours. May I know whether this is regular for the Secretariat, and how this rule came to be?

I was not able to find information on this restriction online. Thank you everyone!!
