2012 APPLICATION DEADLINE: PASSED

2012 JET Program

Interview Candidates Information

Update: If you applied for the 2012 JET Program, you can now check your application status on this page. Thank you for your patience as we reviewed this year's applications.

You will need your ID number to check your status.  This number can be found in the following 2 locations: on the first page of your main application form and on your confirmation card which was sent in the mail.  Please do not call our office for your number.  If you do not have your number, you will still be contacted by the JET Program if you have been selected to interview.

How to check your status:
1. Have your ID number handy.
2. Download this PDF File, “2012 JET Interview Candidates”
3. Look for your ID number.
4. If your number is here, you have been selected to interview; if your number is not located on this list, you did not pass the paper application screening stage.
5. If you are selected to interview, the Consulate/Embassy that you requested as your interview location will be contacting you directly to schedule your interview no later than Monday, February 6th (at this time, your interview location is final and cannot be changed).  If you have not heard from your interview consulate by COB (Close of Business) on February 6th, please contact your interview consulate.  Please do not call your interview consulate before then.

If you are not selected to interview, you may find the following information helpful:
The following are the most common reasons applicants do not make it to the interview stage of the selection process:
- Application review scores are not high enough to be awarded a limited interview slot
- Application materials are missing or incomplete (i.e. unofficial transcripts, missing original signatures, missing Physician's Form (when necessary), appropriate proof of US citizenship, etc...)
- Applications are received after the deadline

Please do not call the JET Program Office to discuss the status of your application. All decisions are final as all application reviewing is now complete.
If you would like to discuss how to better prepare your JET application in the future, please contact us again after April for assistance.

If you were unable to apply for the JET Program this year, please read the Application Timeline for general information on the application period and check the website early next fall for information on the 2013 JET Program application process to become available.
