end date to whom this action should be applied.
Sponsors should reprint Forms DS-2019 for those exchange visitors whose programs are extended through these actions and provide the updated and signed forms to the exchange visitors when possible. Sponsors should also review and correct records that inadvertently extended the program end dates that should not be in Active status (ex: the exchange visitors already departed the United States, but sponsors had not yet updated their records).
Academic exchange visitors (students and teachers) and alien physician categories that have program end dates in June or July will not be extended at this time. However, the Department will continue to monitor the situation as it relates to the exchange visitors in these categories and will provide later guidance if a determination is made on possible extensions.
More generally, the Department is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation and its effect on the Exchange Visitor Program closely. We will supplement this guidance with additional information and/or will adjust guidance going forward, as needed. Once again, thank you for your work, patience and understanding as we navigate through these unprecedented times together.
Sincerely,
Office of Private Sector Exchange
