Every month you can find more than 170,000 participants in the United States, working, studying or teaching through the J-1 Visa Program. A J-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa issued by the United States to exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange, especially to obtain medical or business training within the United States. All applicants must meet eligibility criteria and be sponsored either by a private sector or governement program. The purpose of the J-1 visa program is to provide foreign nationals with opportunities to participate in educational and cultural programs in the United States and return home to share their experiences, and to encourage Americans to participate in educational and cultural programs in other countries. Participants in such programs enter the United States as Exchange Visitors (EV) on J Visa. A DS-2019 form, "Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status" is required to
1) obtain a J-1 visa at a United States Consulate abroad,
2) to extend stay in the United States,
3) to transfer from another institution to UCLA or
4) to change visa status from another non-immigrant visa, such as B-1 or F-1, to the J status.
Duration of Stay:
J-1 visitors may remain in the United States untl the end of their exchange program, as specified on form DS-2019. Once a J-1 visitor's program ends, he or she may remain in the United States for an additional 30 days, often referred to as a "grace period" in order to prepare for departure from the country. If the visitor leaves the United States during these 30 days, the visitor may not re-enter with the J-1 visa. The minimum and maximum duration of stay are determined by the specific J-1 category under which an exchange visitor is admitted into the United States. As with non-immigrant visa, a J-1 visa holder and his or her dependens are requires to leave the United States at the end of the duration of stay.
Mandatory Home Residence Requirement:
Upon their departure from the United States, many J-1 visa holders are required to complete a mandatory two-year home-country physical presence prior to re-entry into the United States under dual intent visas, such as H1-B. These include those involved in government-funded exchange programs, those who pursued graduate-level education or training and those with specialized knowledge or skills. This mandatory two-year home-country stay can be waived under some conditions (please visit or call our office for details).
Reporting Requirements:
Electronic records on J-1 visitors and tehir dependents are maintained in SEVIS by their program sponsor, J-1 visitors must report certain information, such as a change in legal name or a change of address, within 10 days. Failure to report this information is considered a violation of the J-1 visitors immigration status and may result in the termination of his or her exchange program.
