J-1 Scholars and Faculty
Your J-1 Responsible Officer
For advice, questions and information, consult your J-1 Responsible Officer.
If your J-1 sponsor is the University of Maryland, then consult with one of our Faculty and Scholar Advisors, Connie Jesse Lira, Meridith Price, or Louisa Morgan. You may also consult by phone at 301-314-7740.
If your J-1 sponsor is an agency, and if you are uncertain how to reach your J-1 Responsible Officer, staff in the Office of International Services Office at the University of Maryland can help you contact the agency, but they have no authority over your J-1 visa status.
