Change Arrival Date Form
If you cannot arrive in the U.S. within 30 days before OR after the start date listed in Section 3 of your DS-2019 form, it is very important that you complete the following form immediately to let the Partners Office for International Professionals and Students (PIPS) know your new arrival date.
If your new start date is more than 3 months after your original start date, rather than complete this form, contact your hiring department so that they can file new J-1 application paperwork on your behalf.
UPDATE: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, PIPS will review requests for start dates that are more than 3 months from the original DS-2019 start date on a case-by-case basis.
