How long does the Summer Work & Travel Program last? :
The Summer Work/Travel program is a four-month program. Program dates entered in block 3 of Form DS-2019 define the program duration, a period of time up to but not exceeding four months. Participants may not work at any other time except during the period indicated on Form DS-2019. Extensions are not permitted.
May participants work beyond the program end date if they enter the United States after the start date printed on the DS-2019 form? :
If participants enter the United States after the start date stated on their DS-2019 forms, an amended DS-2019 form to correct the program dates may be issued by the sponsor. The adjusted (new) start date is the date of entry indicated by the INS stamp on the DS-2019 form. This amendment is not an extension: the adjusted end date may not exceed four months from the date of entry. Keep in mind that this 4-month period must be concurrent with the student's summer vacation, and may not extend beyond the first day of the following term at the college or university at which the student is enrolled for courses.
What is the 30-Day Grace Period? :
The US Immigration Service (USCIS) provides all J-1 program participants a 30-day travel status period that follows the successful completion of their program. This is called the Grace Period. This period is NOT to be included in the program dates entered on the DS-2019 form. The grace period allows participants to travel in the U.S. and/or to prepare for and depart the United States. It is not to be used for any other purpose (including departing and reentering the U.S. during that period).
Program participants who travel beyond the boundaries of the United States during the grace period may not be permitted by the USCIS to reenter as they are no longer in valid J-1 status during this time. Participants who have an interest in visiting either Canada or Mexico at the end of their stay should be prepared to return directly home from either country. Alternatively, according to the USCIS, they may return to their U.S. exit port in transit, as TROV (transit without visa), for the purpose of return travel to their home country. More information on this procedure may be obtained from the USCIS directly.
