Visa sponsorship requests and lead times
Please review your records to identify any scholars who will require visa assistance, including new scholars or continuing scholars in need of extensions or changes to another status.
To initiate the visa process, please complete the appropriate
request form and submit it to
ogs.scholars@nyu.edu. (See below for our new guides on requesting J and H sponsorship for further guidance about the process!)
Keep in mind the
timelines for visa sponsorship requests. Requests received outside of the posted timelines will be considered last minute requests. In those cases, OGS will provide an updated reasonable start date or alternative options.
New resources for liaisons requesting J-1 and H-1B sponsorship
These documents contain comprehensive how-to guides on requesting J or H scholar visa sponsorship from OGS, as well as general information about the J and H visa types.
Updated J-1 request forms
As announced in our last email, we have updated the J-1 request forms. The forms are now live on our
Visa Sponsorship Request Forms page. Please bookmark and access this page to download a copy of the form for each application to ensure you have the most recent and current form.
OGS staff updates
We are thrilled to introduce our newest International Scholar Advisor, Sophie Slade (she/her). Some of you may recognize Sophie’s name, as she has been with our office as a student employee since Fall 2021. Sophie is currently finishing up a Master’s in International Relations here at NYU, with a concentration in Migration and Border Studies, and is looking forward to continued collaboration with you!
