Learn the basics of maintaining valid immigration status in the U.S. as a J-1 Research Scholar, Professor, Short-Term Scholar, or Student Intern at Washington University in St. Louis.
For new J-1 Exchange Visitors, it is mandatory to attend one J-1 orientation session. Our online J-1 Orientation is designed to help you understand your rights and responsibilities, as well as help you adjust to life in St. Louis.
If you haven’t already done so, please email the documents required to complete your OISS immigration check-in to J1Scholar@wustl.edu. See the J-1 Scholars “OISS Check-in & Orientation” section for full details. We will discuss each of these documents, and you may find it useful to have them in hand as we go through the session.
