The standard processing time for a Form DS-2019 is 2 weeks, 只要申请表填写完整，并随申请表提交所需的所有文件.

If the purpose of request is to “begin new J-1 program,“靠谱的在线彩票平台国际学生服务(ISS)建议各部门尽早提交DS-2019请求，以确保未来的交流访问者有足够的时间在国外获得J-1签证. 申请DS-2019应发送到韦尔奇大厅的国际招生处，并注明为J1请求.

2. Required documentation:
重要的是要指出，在ISS开始处理DS-2019表格请求之前，各部门必须提交所有所需文件的副本. 这一要求是必要的，以确保个人的移民身份得到维持和一致.

3. Financial documentation:
DS-2019表格只能在有文件保证资金的时间段内签发. 除了, 资金必须满足国际空间站的最低资金要求，并涵盖交流访问者所要求的DS-2019的整个期间, and his/her dependents if applicable.

一般机构资助不应被视为政府资助，除非它是专门为靠谱的在线彩票平台交流项目指定的. 用于特定研究目标或主要研究人员的政府资金，而不是用于支持个人交流访问者或交流项目, should be designated as ‘funds from 靠谱的在线彩票平台.如果交流访问者将从授予靠谱的在线彩票平台(但不是专门授予交流访问者)的资金中获得工资，以支持研究项目, 检查靠谱的在线彩票平台作为资金来源，并列出所需DS-2019表格整个期间的总金额.

由J-1交流访问者的导师写的一封信，说明为了完成特定的项目或研究活动需要延期. The letter must be printed on the department’s letterhead.

5. Request for extensions beyond the maximum duration of participation:
请注意, if the exchange visitor is subject to 212(e), according to the DOS, 一旦交换访问学者项目收到DOS的豁免建议通知, the exchange visitor is no longer eligible for further extension of stay, 但他/她可以在当前DS- 2019的剩余时间内继续在当前的J项目中学习.

因为DOS必须在3年最长期限结束前至少60天收到ISS的请求, 各部门必须在3年最长期限结束前至少90天向国际空间站提交以下内容:

由J-1交流访问者的主管撰写的证明延期的信函，并解释交换访问者完成特定项目或研究活动所需延期的特殊或不寻常情况. 信中还应包括交流访问者目前正在进行的研究项目的信息, the roles he/she plays in the project, and the contribution he/she may make to the project if extension is granted.

所有以“开始一个新项目”或“转移”为目的而获得ds -2019表的交流访问者都必须在ISS登记，以完全符合DOS和SEVIS的要求.

重要的是，各部门要经常与交流访问者沟通，如果交流访问者的到来将被推迟，并且DS-2019表格的开始日期需要修改，请立即通知ISS. DOS和SEVIS要求ISS在DS-2019表上的项目开始日期后30天内验证交换访问者的到达. 这只适用于以“开始一个新项目”或“转移”为目的而获得ds -2019表的交流访问者.” If the exchange visitor’s SEVIS record is not validated within these 30 days, it will automatically become “inactive.在这种情况下, the exchange visitor will be considered in violation of program status by the DOS, and may be considered in violation of his/her nonimmigrant status by DHS. The exchange visitor will need to leave the U.S. immediately and make a new entry provided he/she is eligible to return. 在交换访问者参加强制性登记程序后，ISS将对SEVIS记录进行验证.

If the exchange visitor discontinues his/her J-1 program with a department, the department must notify ISS because ISS is required to report the event to SEVIS.

除了, 如果交换访问者在DS-2019表上的结束日期前30天以上离开J-1项目，各院系需要通知ISS.

Upon successful completion of the J-1 program, the exchange visitor will have an additional 30 days to remain in the U.S. though he/she may not be employed during this 30-day grace period. The 30-day grace period is intended for purposes of traveling within the U.S., packing, and preparing to depart the U.S.

家属是指J-1交换访问者的配偶和21岁以下的未成年子女. Dependent spouses and children of J-1 visitors usually enter the U.S. 持J-2签证. 每个受抚养人都需要使用他/她自己的DS-2019表格，以便在美国大使馆/领事馆获得J-2签证并进入美国. 如果部门知道未来J-1交换访问者的家属将陪同J-1, 请填写DS-2019表格上的受抚养人数据部分，以便ISS也可以为受抚养人准备DS-2019表格.

Having J-2 status does not inherently give the J-2 the permission to work, but it gives the person the right to apply for work authorization from the USCIS. 在就业授权文件(EAD)被批准之前，J-2没有合法的工作许可. Under the current rules, there is no restriction on study for J-2 dependents.

A J-2 dependent’s status terminates in the U.S. when that of the J-1 participant terminates.
