Inviting a Research Scholar on a J-1 Visa

At least 4 months in advance of the expected date of arrival, the Sponsor (faculty mentor) must complete a "Request for J-1 Visa Form" and return it to the OIS internationalservices@einsteinmed.edu along with the following documents:

• Copy of the Research Scholar's curriculum vitae
• Copy of Diploma
• Copy of Passport page which includes Date of Birth
• Proof of financial support (including funding source information for Einstein-paid Research Scholars)
• Offer Letter

Upon receipt of this information, the OIS will prepare the J-1(DS-2019 Form) sent it electronically to the scholar. The scholar will apply for the J-1 Visa at the United States Consulate abroad.
