计划的细节

Certain criteria must be met in order for the college to sponsor a visitor. We will make a decision by reviewing the official appointment or invitation letter issued by the Office of the Provost/Dean of 教师 and will issue the scholar a Form DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility). All J-1 program participants are required to pursue the objectives stated in the DS-2019 form, 这是基于澳门葡京博彩软件的委任书吗.

参赛者须遵守以下条件:

  • Has not been physically present in the United States in any J status for more than six months of the previous 12个月. In most cases J-1 holders may not accept paid employment outside 澳门葡京博彩软件 unless it is an integral part of the program described in form DS-2019.
  • Has not completed a J-1 研究澳门葡京博彩软件/Professor category program in the previous 24 months. (如果需要转签, the scholar must work with the ISSO and their current international office to arrange a smooth transition).

All exchange visitors and their dependents must have health insurance coverage for illness and accidents during the entire period of time they are on the J visas. 澳门葡京博彩软件 will commondly supplement any private or governmental insurance policy for the primary J-1 visa holder with a U.S. 他们在澳门葡京博彩软件逗留期间的保险单. 保险 coverage for dependents is the responsibility of the primary J-1 holder.

Sponsors must require that all exchange visitors (as well as their accompanying spouses and dependents) have insurance in effect that covers them for sickness or accidents during the time of their exchange visitor program.  The recent rule increases the minimum coverage to meet today’s medical insurance needs.  截至2015年5月15日, 最低保险范围必须提供至少100美元的医疗福利,000 per accident or illness; repatriation of remains in the amount of $25,000; expenses associated with medical evacuation to the exchange visitor’s home country in the amount of $50,000; and deductibles cannot exceed $500 per accident or illness (Section 62.14(a)).  Inadequate insurance coverage may be catastrophic for an individual exchange visitor. 因此，该部增加了所需经费.

Program participants and their dependents are required to have medical insurance coverage with the following minimum benefits [22 CFR 62.14].

  • 医疗福利 至少 每次事故或疾病10万美元
  • 遣返遗骸的款额为$25 000
  • Expenses associated with the medical evacuation of the exchange visitor to his or her home country in the amount of $50,000
  • 每次事故或疾病的免赔额不超过500美元.

Sponsors are to require that their participants (and any dependents entering the United States as holders of a J-2 visa) have insurance in effect during the period of time they are in the sponsor's program. An insurance policy secured to meet the benefits requirements must be underwritten by an insurance corporation with an A.M. Best rating of "A-" or above, an 保险 Solvency International, Ltd. (ISI)评级为“A-I”或以上, 标准普尔的索赔支付能力评级为“a -”或以上, 或者是Weiss 研究, 公司. 评级为B+或以上. 另外, the sponsor may ascertain that the participant's policy is backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the exchange visitor's home country. 其他选项请参见 [22 CFR 62.14].

Initial programs for professors and research scholars must not exceed three years. 扩展 of up to six months are permitted for the purpose of completing a specific project or research activity.

Professors/研究澳门葡京博彩软件s may transfer from or to 澳门葡京博彩软件 if the purpose of the transfer is to complete the initial objective for which they were admitted, 只要它们保持在相同的J类. 转学须经主办机构批准.

Spouses and unmarried minor children (under the age of 21) of an exchange visitor are issued J-2 visas.
