IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL REQUIRE A VISA TO ENTER THE U.S. Participants who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents must be admitted to the U.S. in the appropriate visa status. In the past, the Office of International Services (OIS) advised Institute participants who were not being funded from a U.S. source to apply for a B1/B2 visa for entry to the U.S. as a tourist. On August 19th, 2011, USCIS published guidance on its website that indicates that enrolling in a course is a violation of B1/B2 status. Since BSPH Institute participants do not meet Institutional standards for F-1 student visa sponsorship, the OIS, in cooperation with the BSPH Summer Institutes, will sponsor participants for J-1 Exchange Visitor status. Based on this updated guidance from the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service [USCIS], participants are now strongly encouraged to follow the appropriate steps to secure a J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa for participation in a BSPH Institute. [Note: Internet MPH students who are participating in the Institutes must 2 SUMMER INSTITUTE OF HEALTH POLICY AND MANAGEMENT 2011

Exceptions are made only on a case-by-case basis.] It can take several months to secure the appropriate visa stamp to enter the United States, so please plan accordingly. Specifically, individuals who will require F1 or J1 visas must submit all required documentation to the Bloomberg School 90 days in advance of the Institute in which they will participate. Institute participants who do not heed this advice risk being denied entry to the U.S. at the U.S. port of entry by USCIS.
