Since DOS must receive the request from ISS at least 60 days prior to the end of the 3-year maximum period, departments must submit the followings to ISS at least 90 days prior to the end of the 3-year maximum period:

All exchange visitors who are issued Form DS-2019s for the purpose of either “ begin a new program” or “ transfer” are required to check-in at ISS in order to fully comply with DOS and SEVIS requirements.
It is important that departments communicate with the exchange visitor often and inform ISS immediately if the exchange visitor’s arrival will be delayed and the begin date of the Form DS-2019 needs to be amended. ISS is required by DOS and SEVIS to validate the exchange visitor’s arrival within 30 days of the program start date on the Form DS-2019. This only applies to exchange visitors who are issued Form DS-2019s for the purpose of either “ begin a new program” or “ transfer.“如果交流访问者的SEVIS记录在这30天内没有得到验证, 它将自动变为“非活动状态”.在这种情况下, 交流访问者将被认为违反了项目状态, 国土安全部可能会认为他/她违反了非移民身份. 交换访问者将需要离开美国.S. 如果他/她有资格返回,请立即重新填写.
