Every year, the University of Michigan welcomes hundreds of international scholars on a J-1 visa. Once a U-M faculty member has invited a scholar for the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program, the process begins. The SSC J-1 Visa team provides coordination services that include processing new requests, returning J-1 scholars, transfers, and those seeking an amendment or extension for their program.
Note: If the scholar is coming to or extending their time at the Medical School, please submit your request to Medical School Immigration Support and Compliance (MSISC), which you do by submitting the intake form on this page:
