For a researcher, someone whose major activity will be to conduct research, or a professor, someone whose major activity will be instruction, or a specialist, someone who “an individual who is an expert in a field of specialized knowledge or skill coming to the US for observing, consulting, or demonstrating special skills, request a J-1 Exchange Visitor Information Sheet from the International Office by calling ext 57966 or emailing International@txstate.edu. Complete and submit it to the International Office along with a copy of the visitor’s resume and passport, which includes the name, picture, and expiration date.
