Monthly Check-Ins
Remember to keep us updated with any changes to your email address, phone number, or living address so you can continue to receive important program-related updates and maintain your active status in SEVIS.
Every month of your program, we will check in with you to ensure that your program is going well. You will receive an email from us to verify your current contact information, and this is also a great opportunity to let us know about any issues or concerns you may have about your program.
IMPORTANT: You must respond to these monthly check-in emails in order to remain active on the program.
Program Evaluations
Make sure to complete the mandatory evaluations emailed to you both during and at the end of your program.
Your comments help us to ensure that you and future participants have successful and rewarding experiences in the U.S. Evaluations are also required to be completed by all J-1 interns and trainees per federal regulations, so it is very important that you submit these evaluations when you receive these emails.
