J-1 Options for Visiting International Researchers


J-1 Options for Visiting International Researchers
OIS 2nd Thursday

Greetings,

The Office of International Services will be holding a discussion on J-1 Visa Options for International visiting researchers Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 11 am.

The session will be held in Room 136 of the Monteith Research Center Auditorium, Centennial Campus.

Faculty members with a research focus are encouraged to attend!

Event Details:

Are you an NC State faculty member who has been contacted by overseas undergrad, graduate students,or faculty requesting the opportunity to come and conduct research, intern, or otherwise partner with you on some project?

Were you interested but uncertain of whether the solicitation was legitimate, or how to move forward?

To learn more about visa options, procedures, and tools for working with existing or potential overseas researchers, join OIS Thursday September 8th, 2011 at 11 am in the Monteith Research Center Auditorium for a discussion on J-1 options for visiting international researchers.

We will go over the different J-1 visa options for undergraduate, graduate, post-doc, and faculty researchers requesting to join your department. One of the J-1 options, the Student Intern category (for undergraduate and graduate researchers) is moving from the GTI to OIS this Fall. (All J-1 options will then be conveniently processed by one office, OIS).

Faculty and staff who are either new to or familiar with J-1 visa options will benefit from this overview and update!
