A. The end date on the DS-2019 form is the last day a person can WORK in the United States. To ensure that the SWT program does not interfere with Romanian university classes and that students do not work past the authorized date, we ask all SWT students to be back by September 14. We take this very seriously and students who remain in the U.S. beyond September 14 may have a difficult time obtaining another visa in the future, even if they do not exceed their authorized stay.
