Students who believe they will not complete their program by the program end date listed on their Form DS-2019 must request an extension before the end date. If a request is not made before the program end date the student will be out of status.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that extending the Form DS-2019 does NOT automatically extend the validity of the J-1 visa on the student\u2019s passport. If the visa is expired, the student will have to apply for a new visa before returning to the United States. See more information about <\/span>reviewing a J-1 visa<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The OGE can only process program extensions for the DS-2019s we issued; if the student has a different sponsor (for example, Fulbright, NSF, IREX, etc.), he\/she needs to contact the sponsor directly to request the extension.<\/span><\/p>\n

The processing time for a program extension is 7 business days. Plan accordingly!<\/span><\/p>\n

To apply for a program extension students must submit their request through <\/span>MyGlobal Portal<\/span><\/a>. Through the online application students will have to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Upload proof of finances showing enough funding to cover all their expenses (and their dependents) for the additional time needed. The DS-2019 can be extended up to a year at a time. Each subsequent extension will require more detailed documentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Provide their academic advisor\u2019s information. The academic advisor will have to provide an explanation of a compelling academic or medical reason for the extension and the new expected completion date. Note that our office cannot extend your DS-2019 to facilitate academic training.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, students must show proof of health insurance that <\/span>meets the requirements<\/span><\/a> set by the Department of State requirements for themselves and their dependents.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
