International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.  This joint initiative of the US Department of State and the US Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.

Departmental E-Form Request

About J-1 Exchange Visitor Status

In order to request J-1 visa certification for a new or current exchange visitor, the department must submit an electronic eform request or extension eform request through the iStart system.  Please note that the e-form should be submitted to the Office of International Services (OIS) at least three months in advance of the J-1 program start date at Indiana University in order to ensure that all documents needed to process the request are received and that the exchange visitor will have sufficient time to secure a visa at a US embassy or consulate abroad.

Departmental access to the iStart system can be requested via iStart.  After departmental access is granted, an email confirmation will be generated directing the department to the online e-form.
