Request for J-1 Visa Document
Center for International Programs
The purpose of the J-1 exchange visitor visa for professors, research scholars, student interns, and short-term
scholars is to facilitate international collaborative teaching and/or research activities. Visitors are invited to the
U.S. for a program with a specific objective and length of stay not to exceed five years. Scholars who have held a J
status for a period of longer than six months are not eligible for a new J program until one year following the end
of their original program, and potentially for two years if in the Professor/Research Scholar category. If you have
questions about the eligibility for J-1 status, please contact Tim Kao at tkao1@udayton.edu
prior to submitting this
form.
To ensure that your visitor will be able to arrive on schedule, this form should be completed two
months prior to
the anticipated start date to allow adequate time for processing the DS-2019 forms and obtaining the visa abroad.
If the visitor will be paid by UD, Human Resources and Affirmative Action will need to be consulted, and regular
hiring procedures (e.g. PAF processing) will need to be completed in tandem with this request for visa documents.
