INTERNATIONAL STUDENT VISAS

If you are coming to Janelia from outside of the United States, you are responsible for determining if a visa is required and to apply through your local embassy or consulate. We will sponsor visas for participants to enter the United States, as appropriate and as permitted.

In recent years, this process has become quite slow in some countries, taking up to several months. Therefore, we suggest that you apply for your visa as soon as possible after admission.
