changes to your projects selection status and your procedural status. The
project status describes the projects you have requested in your application and
decisions regarding your selection for these assignments.

Acceptance
and Application Fee...
If you formally accept the program invitation then you are required to make an
application fee payment of $150. This must be paid
prior to any paperwork processing or final approval. The purpose of this
fee is to discourage students who are not serious from consuming our staff time
in documents preparation and to avoid housing vacancies due to students changing
their arrival and departure dates frivolously. Once you send an email to personnel@intellitemps.net
accepting the internship conditions and confirming your desired start/end dates,
you will then be instructed how to make payment of your
internship reservation
deposit. Be sure to follow the instructions for the
payment
process.
Self-Supported
Payments...
If you apply to self supported internship you should understand that upon
formal acceptance of the invitation (under self-supported
agreement), you are expected to make a $450 partial payment (of the
total $1350 program fee) prior to your arrival. NOTE: This fee is
refundable in cases when your visa application was rejected or you were
barred from entering the US and if you are able to provide the ample
evidence of your visa application/US entry rejection from the US Embassy
or Immigration Service.
The
rest program fee ($900) should be paid within the first working week of
your arrival in LaBelle. Failure to do so can be considered as a
violation of our rules and regulation, and can have a negative impact on
your Final Evaluation NOTE: In case when intern fails to
complete full internship and departs the program within one month of
arrival date, he would be refunded $450 of the $900 payment. The US
Embassy in the intern’s home nation and the Department of Homeland
Security is notified in all cases of early departure in cases when a
letter or endorsement from our organization was used as part of the
intern's visa application.

Visa Options...
If you are an international student and need a visa
to come to US, then you have to carefully
consider the various
visa options
available to you. In selecting a visa option, be sure that you fully understand
the costs and procedures involved. B visas are generally
inexpensive and are sufficient for a 3 to 6 month program participation. People
from some nations are not required to secure any visa if they
come to US no more than for 3 months. This is
called visa waiver program. However, some students are required by their
university or the U.S. Embassy to secure a J visa.
This can take more time and cost more money. Please
make sure that you are able to pay all the
costs to visa/insurance sponsor. While your J visa may only be
valid for 6 months, it can be extended up
to 18 months
at the completion of your initial internship period through either Southern
DataStream or another corporate host. Once you select a visa option, follow
through the process step by step. You are responsible for tracking the
process and making sure all forms are completed by our
company and submitted
to the DS-2019 sponsor, to you, or to the US Embassy/Consulate.
