Visas

How do I get a visa?

After you have been admitted to the University of Maryland, you will receive a DS2019 form in your admission package. You will need this to contact the U.S. consulate in your country to obtain a J1 visa. 

Please note: When applying for a visa, you will be required to pay a SEVIS fee of $100.

Can I work in the United States?

J1 students are eligible for student employment for a total of 20 hours a week on-campus. For further information, please click here.
