I would be grateful if you could tell me the meaning of the Purpose of this form: Replace a DS-2019 form (Lost) and Begin new program; accompanied by number (2) of immediate family members were written on my and my dependents' DS-2019 forms, respectively.
I am in the same case. I lost my original DS-2019 after getting a J-1 visa, and I still cannot find it. However, I found its scanned data as per attached. Can I enter the US with this scanned one?
What happens for first time college students trying to get a visa to work seasonal jobs in USA? How do i find a sponsor with ski resorts to work while on Summer break in my native country?
@@SojourningScholar Where can I get it? I mean, what’s the website to find it? Cause in 2017 I got a J1 visa, now I’m participating in the Fulbright program and they want me to proof that I really got the J1 visa, by showing them the DS-2019 document, I don’t know where I can find it.
If i did a J1 program as a chef but I managed to save enough money to start a master in hospitality by the next year in a USA university can I get another DS 2019 for that purpose? I want to try a master in Florida in january 2023 my current J1 visa ends in november 2022
You'll need to find a program that can sponsor you for the J1 visa. You can find a list of sponsors for the different J1 programs here: j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/sponsor-search/

Sure thing! The DS-2019 like most other US immigration forms issued by DHS (Department of Homeland Security) have expiration dates at the very top. Shortly before these forms expire, an updated form would be issued by DHS. This form expiration date just means that the forms should not be issued or used for "initial immigration related purposes" after those dates. Instead one should use the most recently updated form issued by DHS. Now in the case of the DS-2019, this expiration date at the top must not be confused with the end date in the 3rd box, which is the most important date in this case. If this is your first time receiving the DS-2019 and you notice the form was already expired before the date it was signed by your Responsible Officer, as shown in Box 8. I would recommend you contact them and ask for an updated DS2019 form before you use this for your visa interview.
Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful. I have a question. What if I was given an emergency visa appointment by the US Consulate later than my program start date? My start date is aug 1st and the embassy schedule is aug 11? Will this affect my visa approval? Thank you so much.
@@SojourningScholar Thank you, Sir! This is very helpful. Is it okay to arrive late after your program start date due to other documents that you need to process like waiting for the visa may take three days and some paperwork? Does the State Department have a ruling regarding teachers arriving late for the program? Thank you in advance and more power!
That's a good question, I don't know if DOS has any ruling for teachers arriving late. I would recommend you contact your J1 sponsor in advance. This was they can make any accommodations necessary.
hi, i got a job offer from a US company. they wrote me a letter which indicates that i can start working for them once i get my visa. i want to apply for a j1 visa. is that company which offers me this job also my sponsor? do they have to fill out this DS-2019 or can i fill this form by myself? can you please help?
Hi .....I trust you well there. I have a question, my ds2019 will expire in August 2022 but my visa is until august 2023 . which should I consider my last legal stay in US? If I need a new ds2019 to waive my j1 visa status? Please answer me. Many thanks in advance
Your J1 visa lasts for 2 years. Your ds2019 lasts one year since you come to the US and if you decide to extend your stay with your program you can do it for 6 or 9 months or 1 year. You MUST extend if you want to be in the US legal, doesn’t matter when your visa expires. For example a tourist visa lasts 10 years but as a tourist you’re only allowed to be in the US 6 months max in a row and you can apply for an extension, if you stay you’re ilegal
My DS 2019 document has not been signed by the consular officer though visa given? Will it be a problem at immigration?

Yes you may. The only thing you're to fill on the DS-2019 is your signature and date.

Contact the sponsoring agency that issued your initial DS-2019. You can't print a DS-2019 online.

When you receive it is a good time.

Not really, US consular officers understand this situation, and would not penalize you for that, especially in these current times.

Congrats on the job offer. Whoever sponsored your J1 will provide the DS-2019.
Hi, I got wrong infos in my ds2019 the address of school ang position. What shall I do? Thanks
You should contact your school to issue a corrected version.
If you already got your J1 approved, is it possible to change the date on the DS afterwards?
Yes but only your responsible officer can do so by re-issuing a new Form DS-2019.
@@SojourningScholar does it need to be stamped and signed by visa consular again once dates are changed?
Can I get a new ds2019 in US
You must qualify for it first.
