    Is a person with a J1 Visa a non-resident or a resident of the US?
    Hello,

    I need to know this, because I have a J-1 visa, and I am living in the US.

    I will be living in Florida for 1 year an 10 months and I think I need to acquire a Florida license even though I have one form the Dominican Republic.

    I will be looking forward for your answer.

    A J-1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa available to aliens that fall under the designation of "Exchange Visitor".

    Exchange Visitors under J-1 visas include secondary school and college students, business trainees, trainees in flight aviation programs, primary and secondary school teachers, college professors, research scholars, medical residents or interns receiving medical training in the U.S. certain specialists, international visitors, and Government visitors.
