My exchange visitor has already received her DS-2019 and J visa stamp, but her program has now been postponed by a few weeks. What do I do?
To postpone a program, follow these steps: • Change the start and end dates in TraiNet and transfer/submit that change to the VCS. • The Verifier should check the box to re-print the DS-2019 form. • Mail a cover letter and the old DS-2019 form to the USAID Responsible Officer at EGAT/ED/TR. Send the documents to: USAID RO/ARO | Ronald Reagan Building | North Tower | 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW | #700 | Washington DC 20004 • A new DS-2019 will be printed and mailed to the mission Approver for distribution to the participant. The participant will need to arrange a visit to the consular office in their country for the issuance of a new J visa stamp. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you allow enough time to process the new DS-2019 and J visa. SEVIS will automatically reject any electronic applications for a DS-2019 that are less than two weeks prior to the anticipated start date of the new program. It is advisable, in order to make enough time for the VCS verification and approval process, as well
