Is it permissible for a J-1 scholar to work/receive payment outside the University of Michigan?
In addition to employment at the University of Michigan related to the J-1 objective, J-1 visiting scholars and professors may be eligible to be authorized for incidental employment directly related to the J-1 objective, such as providing occasional lectures or consulting. Incidental employment should be approved by the U-M International Center prior to the activity. For more information, refer to Incidental Employment for J-1 Visiting Scholars and Professors.
