What other things must the participant and host site be aware of regarding program extensions?
· An extension cannot be used to repeat what has already been covered in the original training plan, nor can it be used for “implementation” or “practice” of what was learned in the original training period. The training program should, from the start, encompass opportunities for practice and implementation through on-the-job-training. An extension should not be necessary to do this. · The Intern/Trainee does not need to get a new visa as long as he/she remain in the U.S. for the duration of the program. · When the extension is approved, the intern/trainee will receive a new DS-2019 form, which should be kept with the old one, with the passport. The new DS-2019 with the extended dates allows the participant to remain in the U.S. and continue the program. No new visa stamp is needed to continue the program. · Interns/trainees should not travel outside the U.S. with a visa extension as re-entry to the U.S. can be denied. The new extended DS-2019 form must be taken to the U.S. Embassy in
