We also continue to offer Zoom or phone appointments; please just send us an email and we’ll work with you to schedule a suitable time with the appropriate advisor.

J-1 scholars who plan to travel internationally and need a travel signature should contact ogs.scholars@nyu.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of international travel. We can then arrange either to prepare the document for pick-up from OGS, or to ship the document via UPS (at a cost).

All document pick-up will be at the reception desk of 383 Lafayette St., 4th Floor.

As a reminder, international travel remains fraught with difficulty for international scholars. If you plan to travel outside of the US, please review previous communications and our travel information page. Contact ogs.scholars@nyu.edu for specific advice pertaining to your case/situation.
