Even though President Donald Trump has extended the temporary pause on J1 Student Visas, some officials in Ocean City are optimistic that they will be fully staffed for the upcoming summer season.
Lachelle Scarlato of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce remains hopeful. “We’re still positive in our thought process, certainly not of the mindset we were last summer.”
The Ocean City Chamber of Commerce has been watching the J1 visa situation closely- and feels confident that while the pause was extended- the program is likely to resume by March 31st.
“We may see an ever slight delay in the rollout as a result of that but ultimately not impacting our season.”
