**J-1 Orientation**

**Learn about your J-1.**

**Learn the difference between a J-1 visa and J-1 status, and your
responsibilities in maintaining your status.**

Foreign researchers, especially those on the NIH Visiting Program, who
have just arrived at the NIH and are in J-1 status, should have already
been given a reservation to attend a J-1 Orientation by the DIS.
However, if you were unable to attend the workshop on your assigned
date, then please contact your Team (or email the DIS) to register for
an available session.
