When making your travel plans, you should arrange to arrive in the U.S. within 30 days before the program start date on your Form DS-2019. You may not enter the U.S. earlier than 30 days before the program start date. If you are delayed and cannot arrive by your program start date, contact your host department and OIE. Your Form DS-2019 may need to be updated with a new start date before you enter the U.S.

When traveling, always hand-carry your visa documents and passport with you. Do not put them in your checked baggage. You will not have access to your baggage until after the immigration inspection at the port of entry.

If everything is in order, the officer will stamp your passport with your entry date and mark the stamp 鈥淛-1, D/S鈥�. Check this stamp and notation in your passport before you leave inspection to be sure it is legible and correct.
