My visa is not valid for more than one year but I need a new “position offer” to get a new visa. Do you ask for a valid two-year visa (for the postdoc period) at the moment of the application?
We understand that not all U.S. visas will cover the full two years of postdoc for the award. For this reason, BWF requires the nominating institution to certify that you hold a current valid U.S. visa and that the institution will manage your residency status during the postdocoral period of the award (perform all necessary paperwork to extend visa status.) This certification is accomplished by completing and submitting the InstitutionalNomination Formwhich can be found on this web site (see below) and on proposalCENTRAL in the “Download Templates and Instructions” section or in the “Research Plan and Other Attachments” section. As long as the institution completes, signs, and submits this form with your application, your temporary residency status will not prevent you from being eligible to apply.
