J-1 & J-2 VISAS

A Queens College (QC) faculty member will need to contact the QC International Students & Scholars Office to request an application to host a professor, researcher or student for a specific program of study or work at Queens College.
 
The J Visa is a State Department document, issued only at the U.S.Consulate in the applicant's home country.
   
The J-1 Visa is needed to legally enter the U.S. for the purpose of teaching, conducting, research or engaging in a special program at the College.
 
It is mandatory that all J-1 Scholars and J-2 Dependents enroll in a J-1 health insurance program.
 
It is also required that all J-1's and J-2's report to the Queens College International Students and Scholars Office at least 5 days before their U.S. entry date.
