[Cuga] Important Information About Non-immigrant Visa Renewal Process- A message from JRIS

[Lorelei Chopard]

*Allowing Extra Time, Following Procedure - Critical to Visa Renewal 
Process*
****

If you are a Jefferson Lab foreign national staff member, user or 
student, with a non-immigrant visa status (F-1, B-1, J-1, H-1B, O-1), 
you have a visa stamp that includes an expiration date in your passport. 
It is very important that you keep track of your visa expiration date 
and your personal and professional travel plans.

If or when you start the process to renew your visa, you must begin well 
in advance of the expiration date and coordinate closely with the 
Jefferson Lab Registration/International Services office and your 
supervisory structure (from your supervisor up through your division's 
Associate Director).

For important information about the visa renewal process, please 
carefully read the linked memo 
<https://www.jlab.org/memo/allow-extra-time-follow-procedure-critical-visa-renewal-process>. 
All JLab individuals in a non-immigrant visa status, and their 
supervisors are asked to read the linked memo (posted at: 
https://www.jlab.org/memo/allow-extra-time-follow-procedure-critical-visa-renewal-process)

Failure to follow the visa renewal process can result in you being 
refused re-entry into the U.S., as well as lost work days, leave without 
pay and extended and unanticipated travel expenses for you, and problems 
with staffing and project completion deadlines for Jefferson Lab.


Thank you for your attention to this important issue.

Best regards,

Sue Ewing

Registration/International Services Administrator
