One of the most basic things is that you will need to apply for a J1 Visa for Interns.
http://j1visa.state.gov/programs/intern/

You will need your Intern Sponsor and you have to answer a whole bunch of questions and provide documents.

Get cracking as soon as possible, the visa process can be slow. :smile:

You need the company sponsor (the "internship sponsor"), without that you have no chance of the Visa.

Check out the FAQs I linked to, they answer all the points.
