The IAP-66 (or Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor Status) is the three-page, USIA-controlled document used by J-1 students to obtain an entry visa and enter the United States. Your copy of the IAP-66 is the pink copy. It contains important information including your program sponsor and an expiration date.

The J-1 visa SEVIS number is printed in the top right-hand corner of every Form DS-2019, just to the right of the biographical information in Section 1. It will be directly above the word “J-1” and a 2D barcode. The SEVIS number starts with an “N” (the “alpha” character) and can contain up to 11 numbers.

Exchange visitors are noncitizens who come to the U.S. through the Exchange Visitor Program to take part in Department of State-designated programs. Examples of exchange visitors are: Trainees. Professors or scholars.

These documents are permanent records of J-1 non-immigrant status and are necessary to prove legal non-immigrant status in the USA. They are also necessary to travel out of the US during or re-enter again in J-1 status within the designated program dates.

Exchange visitors enter the United States in J-1 visa status. This classification is for individuals approved to participate in work-and study-based exchange visitor programs. All J-1 nonimmigrants must be sponsored by an organization that is designated by the Department of State.

You have to be selected by the United States Department of State to qualify for this J-1 visa. As an international visitor, you must take part in consultations, observation, research, training, or demonstration of special skills and you must be a recognized individual in a special field.

Your DS-2019 is an important document for your J-1 status. Issued by UW, this document allows you to apply for a J-1 visa if you are outside the U.S, apply for J-1 status within the U.S., enter and reenter the U.S. in J-1 status, and prove your eligibility for various J-1 benefits.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that administers the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
