As a J-1 exchange visitor, you must meet certain obligations to maintain legal immigration status.

Failure to maintain your non-immigrant status can result in serious problems with immigration and could lead to deportation from the US. Exchange Visitors (EVs) in J-1 status are responsible for understanding and complying with US regulations governing the J visa status. The Exchange Visitor’s responsibilities (22 C.F.R. Part 62) include but are not limited to the following explained in the document link above.
