Please use this form to submit an initial J-Visa request for a visiting scholar, visiting student, or new employee.
WARNING: We require at least 6 months to process a visa. Please note any request submitted less than 6 months prior to the candidate start date will require the use of expedited processing. Expedited Processing only refers to the Office of International Affairs review and processing, not the US Consulate/Embassy offices or wait times.
NOTE: For all appointments (including self-funded), there is a minimum funding requirement for each month of the visitor’s appointment: $1,800/month for visitor/new employee; $500/month for spouse; $300/month for each accompanying dependent child.
