In certain situations, J-1 students can apply to extend their DS-2019.

If your DS-2019 is issued by NDSU: Please check with your home institution or financial sponsor to make sure a program extension is allowed. If you are an undergraduate student, please consult with your international student advisor first, before applying for a DS-2019 extension. If allowed, please fill out this form, and our office will be in contact after you have submitted it.

The DS-2019 Extension Information Packet is found on our Forms page.

If your DS-2019 is issued by another organization: Please check with your sponsor to make sure a program extension is allowed. If allowed, you may go ahead and request the extension through your sponsor - please notify your international student advisor when you have requested it so we can help monitor your situation if needed. When your program has been extended and you receive your new DS-2019, please provide the ISSAS office with a copy of your new DS-2019.

For any questions regarding this process, please contact Sara Johnson at Sara.J.Johnson@ndsu.edu.
