Term Details - Transfer, J-1 Exchange Program

Nomenclature associated with the J-1 exchange program. There are procedures for transferring J-1 exchange visitors from the sponsorship of one institution to another. Employment-based non-immigrants such as H-1B and O-1 cannot transfer between institutions. A move like this requires that the “receiving” institution file a new petition. See the term 'portability.'
