J-1 Academic Training workshops

Academic Training for students enrolled in a degree program at Stanford. As a J-1 student, you are eligible for a variety of work opportunities in the U.S., but employment without proper authorization is a serious violation of status. Remember that before you start ANY kind of employment (even on campus), you must first consult with your J-1 Responsible Officer, whose written approval is necessary in advance.

A number of J-1 visa issues will be covered including:

• on-campus employment
• work authorization (Academic Training / off-campus employment)
• 2 year home country residency requirement
• visa extension

• Location: I-Center Assembly room
• Time: 3-5 pm
• Date:
  •  Friday, April 15th, 2016
