Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status used to obtain a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa. The form can only be issued and endorsed by a Responsible/Alternative Responsible Officer (in the UF International Office). J-1 Students are usually those funded by a government or institution. They may be degree-seeking or participating in a reciprocal exchange or cooperative education program. Other DS-2019 categories include Research Scholar, Short-Term Scholar, Professor, and Student Intern. Before the advent of the SEVIS system, the form used for J-1 visitors was called “IAP – 66.”
