Visiting/exchange student to UTC

 

The process is simple and is explained in this page. 

I attached a form with this email and summarized the documents I need to issue DS2019 below.

Checklist of Documents to be Submitted by the Department and J-1 Applicant with This Form

1. Proof of financial support letter or a bank statement (in English) (J-1 scholar $1500 per month = $18,000 per year)
2. Copy of passport (visitor and all accompanying family members), DS2019, and Visa Stamp Page.
3. Proof of English proficiency (or a letter from the department) for non-native English speakers
4. CV 
5. Invitation or appointment letter from the sponsoring UTC college or department
6. Extracurricular cultural activity plan (This is a one-page letter from the sponsoring department explaining how the visitor will engage in cultural exchange activities.)
7. Health insurance waiver request form (J-1 visitors are required to hold health insurance. If you do not submit this form, you will be charged approximately $1,800/year for medical coverage through the UTC-sponsored insurance plan.)

Feel free to let me know if you have questions.

Additional question...Is this person only researching? Not teaching? Are Any family members (J2) joining this person?
