REQUEST FOR DS-2019 (CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY FOR J-1 EXHANGE VISITORS)
J-1 INTERNS (22 CFR 62.22)
The student intern option is a subcategory under the College and University Student Category through
the Exchange Visitor Program. To request a Form DS-2019 for a prospective international student
intern, departments must submit the application packet to the International Student and Scholar
Services (ISSS) Office at least 60 days prior to the desired internship start date. The information and
documents included in this packet were developed based on existing federal regulations in order to
determine eligibility of prospective internship applicants and suitability of internships offered at FAU.
General Information
Interns must be currently enrolled and pursuing studies at a post-secondary academic institution outside
the U.S., or must have graduated from such an institution within 12 months prior to the proposed
internship start date.
Internships are up to 12 months in length without the possibility of extension beyond this period.
Upon completing the internship program, participants must return to their home country and resume (if
applicable) their academic programs in order to graduate from the post-secondary institution outside the
U.S.
The internship experience must be at least 32 hours per week with no more than 20 percent of the total
activities consisting of clerical work.
The program must provide the participants with opportunities to expand upon existing knowledge and
skills, and must expose participants to American techniques, methodologies, and expertise.
The program must not duplicate the participant’s prior work experience or training received elsewhere.
Internships may not involve child care, elder care, clinical/medical care, or aviation.
Additional requirements exist for Hospitality/Tourism and Agriculture-related internships.
Interns must have on-site supervision in completing daily tasks related to their internship activities.
Interns must be evaluated on a regular basis, at least once every six months. All evaluations must be
