问题一:美国交流访问学者期限有多久?
答:美国交流访问学者周期视其访问交流项目而定、可长可短、没有固定的限制。
但对于任何确定的交流访问计划项目而言,其期限是一定的。
问题二:如何申请美国交流访问学者留学?
答:因为美国交流访问学者是多种类型的,故申请手续各有不同。
但最后的签证程序是相同的。
在获得美方的录取或聘用后,美方提供由学生和交流访问学者信息系统SEVIS产生的DS2019表格,申请人凭此表和其他签证必备材料获取J1签证。
问题三:美国交流访问学者留学需要什么条件?
答:美国交流访问学者须有足够的学术准备和英语知识以保证申请人在接收其的教育机构完成整个交流访问学习过程。
如果申请人的英语水平不足以让其完成整个学业,申请人必须出示文件证明接收机构已为其安排了特殊的英语语言课程。
问题四:哪些因素容易导致美国交流访问学者申请失败?
答:对美国交流访问学者计划不了解,错过申请时机;个人经历和资格的描述与要求不匹配;英语能力不过关且无法与接收机构沟通,要求为其安排特殊语言课
程;申请材料准备不规范;不能与接收机构取得直接联系,澄清相关细节问题等都会导致申请失败。
问题五:目前有哪家机构可以助申请者一臂之力取得成功?
答:金东方通过在美国的海外留学顾问及时与接收机构取得直接联系,把握申请时机;了解接收机构具体需求,为申请者有的放矢地规划咨询,助其选择对口的申请对象;聘请精通英文并熟悉专业的人士审改其申请材料,确保申请材料的规范性和准确性;成为接收机构和申请者之间的桥梁,及时沟通,澄清相关细节问题。
2015年美国访问学者、博士后申请常见问题解答访问学者是什么?有人认为,去美国做交流访问学者是门槛最高的留学方式。
而留学专家张伟用则认为,这其实是门槛最低的留学方式。
因为去美国做交流访问学者,无需出国考试成绩(托福,雅思,GRE等),也无需任何学费支出,且申请难度小。
下面就是一些关于申请2015年美国访问学者、博士后常见问题的解答。
问题一:什么是美国交流访问学者?答:美国交流访问学者是指参与美国交流访问学者计划的人员。
该计划是美国移民法规定的,旨在促进在教育、艺术和科学领域内人员的知识和技术交流。
问题二:美国交流访问学者有几种类型?答:美国交流访问学者包括各大、中、小学在校学生;参加公司、机构和办事处在职培训的人员;各小学、中学和专业技术学校的教师;赴高等教育机构任教或从事研究工作的教授,从事研究工作的学者;赴医疗机构进行专业培训的人员;以及以研究培训和示范专业知识或技能为目的的访问学者。
问题三:交流访问学者和博士后有何区别与联系?答:交流访问学者和博士后是两个不同的概念。
交流访问学者是指在美国得以合法居留的一种非移民身份,而有些博士后是指一种工作(参见《关于赴美博士后留学常见问题答疑》)。
有很多博士后以交流访问学者身份在美国从事科研工作和专业培训,故有些人误将两者等同起来。
其实,有很多交流访问学者并不从事博士后工作,也有不少博士后以其他身份(如持H1-B工作签证的特殊职业工作人员)在美国留学。
问题四:交流访问学者和本科或研究生留学有何区别与联系?答:交流访问学者是指在美国得以合法居留的一种非移民身份,有些本科或研究生以交流访问学者身份在美国留学。
他们与其他留学生不同的地方在于他们持访问学者J1签证而不是F1学生签证。
问题五:在经济上如何负担美国交流访问学者留学?答:因为美国交流访问学者是多种类型的,资金来源也各有不同,诸如国内外政府机关或民间非营利组织颁发的奖学金或助学金、工商企业的赞助、国际基金组织的资助、美国用人单位提供的工资津贴与科研经费、以及个人和家庭的经济实力等都可用于负担在美国交流访问学者留学之需。

It is illegal to violate U.S. federal immigration laws and regulations for any reason whatsoever. As an exchange visitor with J-1 status, you are responsible for learning, understanding, and complying with the U.S. laws and regulations that apply to you. Your failure to be aware of and comply with these requirements could jeopardize your stay in the United States.You need to remember the following:Report address changes, through Wolverine Access, within 10 days of any change in your U.S. or home country address.Keep your passport valid.Always have a valid DS-2019. Extensions may be requested by your sponsoring department.Obtain a travel signature as needed.Inform the International Center (IC) if you end or leave your program before your DS-2019 expires.Abide by employment regulations. Meet with an International Student and Scholar Advisor (ISSA) to obtain authorization before engaging in any activity for which you will receive payment from aninstitution other than the University of Michigan.Check your University of Michigan e-mail regularly for updates from the International Center and read IC e-mails carefully. Follow up as necessary.Make an appointment with an International Center advisor for any questions you may have regarding your immigration status or regulations.Maintain health insurance at all times. Health insurance must meet U of M standards.I have read and understand this information, and knowingly accept full responsibility for maintaining my status as an international student during the duration of my studies at the University of Michigan.J-1 VISITING SCHOLAR & PROFESSORS: IMPORTANT IMMIGRATION INFORMATION The general purpose of the Exchange Visitor Program is to promote international educational and cultural exchange to develop mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and other countries. At U-M, there are three types of J-1 exchange visitors: students, visiting scholars, and visiting professors. An exchange visitor must not be a candidate for a tenure-track position.J-1 visiting research scholars primarily conduct research, observe, or consult in connection with a research project. The visiting scholar may also teach or lecture.J-1 visiting professors primarily teach, lecture, observe, or consult. The visiting professor may also conduct research.J-1 visiting short term scholars can be professors, research scholars, specialists, or persons with similar education or accomplishments coming to the U.S. on a short-term visit for the purpose of lecturing, observing, consulting, training, or demonstrating special skills.J-1 specialists are individuals who are expert in a field of specialized knowledge or skill who come to the U.S. for observing, consulting or demonstrating those special skills.Maintaining Legal J-1 StatusAs a J-1 exchange visitor, you must meet certain obligations to maintain legal immigration status. Maintaining status is necessary to receive the benefits of J-1 status in the future, such as applying for a change of status, if needed. Failure to maintain your non-immigrant status can result in serious problems with immigration and could lead to deportation from the U.S. To maintain legal J-1 status, a J-1 visiting scholar or professor must:Attend the mandatory immigration check-in program at the U-M International Center.Have a valid DS-2019. Extensions can be completed with your J-1 sponsor.Have a valid passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months into the future on the day you return from your trip abroad.Conduct employment only as indicated on the DS-2019.NOTE:Departments must contact the U-M International Center if they would like the exchange visitor to engage incollaborative work outside of U-M or if the exchange visitor wishes to participate in occasional lectures at another institution. File timely and appropriate transfer and extension notification to the Exchange Visitor Program (EVP) through the sponsoring agency.Maintain required health insurance coverage.Update your current and permanent address information at within 10 days of moving.Health Insurance RequirementAll exchange visitors and their accompanying dependents at the University of Michigan are required to have health insurance coverage that meets the University's standards for the entire duration of your J-1 program. You will be enrolled in an approved insurance program at the mandatory immigration check-in program. If your government or program sponsor is providing you with health insurance, you will later have the opportunity to apply for a waiver of the mandatory health insurance. In order for a waiver to be granted, your health insurance coverage must be proven to meet U-M standards, so please bring a copy of the insurance policy with you to the U.S. Health insurance is not an option - it is a requirement.Travel Outside the U.S. and ReentryWhen traveling outside the United States, you will need to have the proper documents to return. You may need a valid J-1 visa (the visa stamp in your passport.) Reentry from Canada, Mexico, and the adjacent islands may be allowed with an expired visa. In addition, you will need a DS-2019 with a travel signature from a Responsible Officer or an Alternate Responsible Officer at the U-M International Center. The signature is valid for one year (or to the end date of your current DS-2019, whichever is sooner) following the signature date.If you are visiting Canada, you may need to apply for a visitor visa to enter Canada. The closest Canadian consulate is located in Detroit.For more information, consult our Travel Advisory at the International Center website.Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement (212[e])Under specific circumstances, a J-1 exchange visitor may incur a Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement. The J-2 dependents are subject to this same requirement if the J-1 visa holder is subject to the requirement. This means that neither the J-1 nor the J-2 may change immigration status to H, L, or Permanent Residency without first returning to his/her country for two years or obtaining a waiver of this requirement. If the Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement applies, change of status to another non-immigrant classification, such as F-1, in the U.S. is prohibited. If the individual is subject to this requirement, the J-1 visa stamp or DS-2019 form will indicated that the bearer is subject to “212(e)”.For more information about 212(e), refer to Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement and Waiver at the International Center website or to the U.S. Department of State web site at /visa/temp/types/types_1267.html.Twenty-four month bar on repeat participation [22 CFR § 62.20(i)(2)]A professor or research scholar who completes or has completed a J-1 program of five years or less on or after November 18, 2006, is not eligible for repeat participation as a professor or research scholar for a period of twenty-four months following the J-1 program end date (DS-2019 end date) as recorded in the Student Exchange Visitor Information system (SEVIS).Twelve-month bar after previous J participation [22 CFR § 62.20(d)(ii)]Time spent in the U.S. in another J status may affect an alien’s eligibility for participation as a “professor” or “research scholar.” An individual is not eligible to “begin a new program” if he/she was physically present in any J status (including J-2 status) for 6 months or more during the immediately preceding 12months from the date of program commencement set forth on the new Form DS-2019, unless: 1) the participant is transferring to U-M Exchange Visitor Program in the same category; or 2) the participant’s presence in the U.S. was pursuant to a “Short-term scholar” exchange activity.EmploymentJ-1 visiting scholars and professors are eligible to work as described on the DS-2019 and may potentially accept additional employment as authorized by the U-M International Center in accordance with regulations.J-1 Visiting Scholars and ProfessorsIn addition to employment at the University of Michigan, J-1 visiting scholars and professors are only eligible to be authorized for incidental employment, such as providing occasional lectures or consulting. Incidental employment must be approved by U-M International Center prior to the activity. For more information, refer to Incidental Employment for J-1 Visiting Scholars and Professors atDependentsDependents are defined as a spouse and minor children (under age 21) of the J-1 exchange visitor. Dependent spouses and children enter the U.S. on J-2 dependent visas. Each dependent is required to have an individual DS-2019 to obtain a J-2 visa stamp from a U.S. embassy or consulate and to enter the U.S. (Canadians are exempt from the visa requirement). For more information, refer to the International Center website.Having J-2 status does not enable a J-2 dependent to work, but it gives the person the ability to apply for permission to work from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office through an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) (Form I-766). The J-2 dependent does not have legal permission to work until the EAD is approved by USCIS. For more information, refer to J-2 Dependent Employment Authorization Document page at the International Center website.TaxesAll J-1 exchange visitors must file federal tax forms every year that they are in the U.S. The deadlines to file the forms are April 15, if U.S. money is earned, and June 15, if no U.S. money is earned. For more information, refer to Taxes and Social Security section of the International Center website.Grace PeriodWhen a J-1 exchange visitor completed his or her program, a 30-day grace period begins. During these 30 days he/she may remain in the U.S. and prepare to leave. It is not permissible to work during the grace period. Nor may one exit the U.S. and reenter as a J-1 during the grace period.Department of State Exchange Visitor ProgramThe J-1 Exchange Visitor Program is administered by the Office of Exchange Coordination and Designation, in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of United States Department of State. Our J-1 Program is overseen by the Academic and Government Division.Office of Exchange Coordination and DesignationECA/EC/AG - SA-44, Room 732301 4th Street, S.W.Washington, D.C. 20547202.203.5029Jvisas@Note: This is a brief overview only. Because of the complexity of immigration regulations, it is advisable to consult with an International Student and Scholar Advisor (ISSA) at the International Center for details.。
美国访问学者访问J1签证和商务B1签证的区别美国校方通常希望他国的访问学者申请访问类签证(J1),当然也有很少一部分人以商务签证(B1)的身份入境,我们就这两种签证的区别做一下简单介绍。
交流访问学者签证(J1)旨在促进教育、艺术和科学领域内人员进行知识和技术的交流。
申请者包含但不限于以下几类人员:(1)小学、初中、高中、大学在校学生;(2)参加美国公司、机构和办事处在职培训的人员;(3)赴高等教育机构进行学术交流或从事研究工作的学者,包括小、中、高、大学、职业技术院校教师、医生、实验人员,管理者、工程负责人,等各行各业的优秀从业人员;(4)赴医疗或相关机构进行专业培训的人员;(5)赴美参加咨询、研究、培训,技术分享等有组织的活动的国际知名访问学者。
商务签证(B1)是美国单位和机构签发给赴美从事短期(一般1-6个月)商务活动的外国人的签证,持证人可以在美国从事短期商务活动,如商务考察、洽谈合同、订购或推销产品、参加商务展出等活动。
它们的区别在于:1、逗留时间B1签证必须是6个月以下;(无法开具《留学回国人员证明》)J1签证最长有效期是5年。
2、回国服务期限制B1签证因时间逗留短,不受服务期限制;J1签证逗留时间如果超过6个月以上,都要受回国服务2年的限制,除非办理豁免,免除回国服务期限制。
3、审核时间B1签证无需事先向移民局申请,可以直接持邀请函到领事馆办理签证手续。
J1签证需要向移民局申请,按要求提交一系列材料,取得DS2019表格,审核时间较长。
一般是2-4周,最长甚至2-3个月。
到领事馆办理签证手续必须要有2019表格。
4、配偶及子女的待遇B1签证不能办理携签手续,配偶或子女如要随行,也须单独向使领馆申请旅游或商务签证等,且配偶不能合法打工,子女不能享受免费就读公立学校。
J1签证的配偶和子女(21岁以下)可以办理携签(J2签证),配偶可以办理工卡,合法打工,子女可以免费就读公立学前班、小学、初中、高中。
美国J-1签证是一种非移民签证,签发给来美国参加美国国务院批准的“交流访问者计划”(Exchange-Visitor Programs)的各类外籍人士,目的是提供美国和其它国家之间的教育和文化交流的机会,以增进彼此了解,促进国际合作,发展国与国之间的友好关系。
主要包括以下14大类别:1.J-1互惠生签证(Au Pair)Au Pair “互惠生”是法语,包含“平等”的意义,项目起源于欧洲,是年轻人通过居住在寄宿家庭从事一份全职照看孩子的工作,而获得工作、学习、旅游的跨国文化体验。
该项目距今已经有60 多年的历史,全世界已有几十万的年轻人经历体验了这个项目。
美国政府于20 多年前引入该项目,并制定了一系列的法律法规来约束和保障该项目,你可以在美国国务院的官网了解关于项目的详细内容,比如工作和休息时间的保障、每周的零花钱、学校的学分要求等等。
2.J-1学生签证(College and University Student)J-1学生签证又可以按照学生所在学校的类别分为J-1高中学生和J-1学院/大学学生。
J-1高中学生必须符合一定的年龄要求,且必须参加全日制学习。
要注意的是,J-1高中学生不能获得美国高中的毕业文凭。
J-1学院/大学学生没有严格的年龄限制,但也须参加全日制学习。
J-1学院/大学学生可以参加有学位的学习(degree program)、无学位的学习(non-degree program)或学术性实习(academic training)。
3.J-1短期访问学者签证(Short-Term Scholar)此类签证适用于赴美从事以下活动不超过一定期限的短期访问学者:A. 授课;B. 考察(observation);C. 交流意见;D. 接受培训;在研究机构、博物馆、图书馆、高等公认教育机构或类似的机构展示特殊技能。
4.J-1受训人员签证(Trainee)J-1签证受训人员签证适用于从事以下活动的人员:为提高自己专业及非专业上的技能或增进自己对美国先进技术的了解而赴美参加培训;为了更好地理解美国的文化及社会,或为了通过与美国相关人士之间的交流来促进美国对别国文化的了解,赴美参加培训。
访问学者J-1签证,是一种"既非常方便又非常麻烦"的签证。
说其方便,是因为相比于其他非移民类签证,J-1签证的申请人很少被打回票,一般总会得到赴美签证;说其麻烦,是指J-1签证的持有人如欲转换其他非移民签证,或申请移民美国,必须先回本国服务两年。
那么J-1签证又分为哪些类别,需要如何申请呢?J-1签证的类别主要有以下几种:1、交换学生。
凡是攻读学位的学生,在美合法居留期限即其攻读学位的年限。
在学位完成以后,可实习十八个月,在此之后还有三十天的时间供整理行装回国(以下各类别均一合法居留期限之后三十天整理行装的时间〕。
2、受训人员。
即在某学术机构接受专业训练者。
可在美居留十八个月。
3、教师。
经过批准在美国中、小学教书的老师,可在美逗留三年。
4、教授。
在大学从事教学和科研的教授,可在美居留三年。
5、学者和专家。
在研究机构从事研究者,可在美居留三年。
6、国际交流人员。
应邀前来美国旅行、观察、咨询、训练、交流专业知识或技能,或参加专门组织的友好活动者,可在美居留一年。
7、医学专业受训人员。
指接受临床训练的医生或护士。
受训医生可在美居留至七年,具有硕士学位的护理人士为两年,其他医疗保健方面的受训人员则可在美居留三年。
8、美国新闻总署(USIA)的外国雇员。
即来美为USIA的出版社或出版物担任作家、翻译及编辑者,他们在美居留的期限由USIA根据其计划而定。
怎样申请J-1签证:申请J-1签证,应先取得赞助机构签发的IAP-66表。
一般情况下,有此表足以申请签证。
但有时申请人也需向美国领事馆提供其他资助的证明,通常领事馆根据IAP-66表提供的情况,在申请人的护照中注明申请是否受到回国服务两年限制,居留期限则在IAP-66表上的第三项注明。
保持身份:J-1学生必须全时上课。
不过,并不一定要正式注册,只要资助单位对其学业进展的情况感到满意即可。
研究教学人员则须按照IAP-66表上的说明,从事其研究或教学计划。

美国教育部关于访问学者J1身份的新规定
从2015年1月5日开始执行
“Objective Measurement” of English Language Proficiency
Current regulations require that a prospective exchange visitor “possess sufficient proficiency in the English language to participate in the program,” however, the level of English proficiency was not specified, nor was the means to determine that sufficient proficiency was attained. The Department of State changed this rule because "too many exchange visitors lack sufficient English proficiency to perform their jobs or complete their academic programs; to navigate daily life in the United States; to read and comprehend program materials; to understand fully their responsibilities, rights, and protections; and to know how to obtain assistance, if necessary." [79 FR 60294, 60301]”
The new rules now require "sufficient proficiency in the English language, as determined by an objective measurement of English language proficiency, successfully to participate in his or her program and to function on a day-to-day basis." [22 CFR 62.11(a)(2)]
To comply with this provision proof of English proficiency will need to be provided though
• A recognized English language test
•Signed documentation from an academic institution or language school; or
• A documented interview conducted by the sponsor either in-person or by videoconferencing, or by telephone if videoconferencing is not a viable option
The Department of State "reminds sponsors to retain evidence of how they measured applicants’ English language proficiency so that it may be made available to the Department upon request." Examples of recognized English language tests include TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC or the Michigan Test. Additional details about acceptable documentation of English proficiency and ways to document interviews via videoconferencing will be forthcoming.。
