How do I extend my stay, change program sponsors, or transfer schools on a J-1 visa?
top>> J-1 visa holders who wish to extend their stay will need to secure a new DS-2019 from their sponsor. This should be done prior to the expiration date on the DS-2019. If you are changing programs or transferring schools, you must have permission from your sponsor. Permission is indicated on the new DS-2019. Please check with our office if you have any questions.
