Irish students have expressed their concerns over the delay of their summer J-1 visas due to which they might not be able to work in the United States of America. There are students who have received their job offer letters and are due to fly in the coming weeks or a month but their visa process is not completed. Some students have received calls regarding their interview for a visa whereas their friends who applied at the same time as them haven't. The USIT is answering their calls, emails or messages. Their online portal is also not accessible. The Chief Marketing Officer of USIT says that this inefficiency is due to the pandemic, festival holidays and illness related to COVID. He assured that every mail and phone call will be answered and all those who have proper documents will be flying to the US this summer.
