1 Hosting a J-1 Visa International Exchange Visitor OVERVIEW OF PROCESS: JMU must abide by government regulations that govern the sponsorship of international exchange visitors. All the information requested in this form is necessary in order for International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) to process the documents needed for visa sponsorship of an exchange visitor. Once this form has been completed and returned to ISSS by the sponsoring department, documents will be processed that the exchange visitor will need to provide to the US embassy so they may receive a J-1 visa. The ISSS office will process the documents as soon as possible, but visa processing at US embassies typically takes several weeks, with several months possible in rare cases when an application is flagged for administrative processing, so it is best to begin this process early. WHO TO CONTACT WITH QUESTIONS: If you have questions about this form, please contact Hunter Swanson, Assistant Director of International Student and Scholar Services. swansohr@jmu.edu Phone: (540) Hosting an International Exchange Visitor Checklist AS SOON AS POSSIBLE: Department Contact: Identify a member of the department who will act as a liaison to the exchange visitor and International Student and Scholar Services.

The Office of International Programs manages three rooms available to short-term scholars (1 day-6 weeks).

12 HOUSING INFORMATION FOR INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE VISITORS: TYPES OF LEASES: An individual lease is when a tenant signs for a single room, meaning he or she is individually responsible for paying rent and any damages to the room. However, this may also mean the landlord can place any tenant in remaining rooms in the apartment or townhome. Be sure to check with your property management company about these policies prior to lease signing A joint lease is a lease signed by all tenants, making the entire group responsible for damages and paying the full rent. This places the choice of filling empty bedrooms in the apartment or home on the tenants themselves After signing a lease, some tenants may choose to sub-lease their residence. A sub-lease is a legal agreement by which someone who is renting an apartment, house, etc, is allowed to rent it to someone else for a period of time. This can be a viable option for leasing an already-leased property for a portion of the original lease terms THE LEASING PROCESS: Most property managers will require a rental application fee and an income verification form. If the application form requires a social security number or driver s license ID number and you do not have one, inform the property manager of this and request an alternate arrangement Once the leasing process has been completed successfully, you will have access to your apartment/room at a pre-determined time on the day the lease begins. Once you move in, inspect the property immediately for damage that was incurred before you move in and alter the property manager. If you do not do this, you may be charged for damages or lose your security deposit SECURITY DEPOSIT: Many apartment and townhome complexes require a security deposit to be paid. By Virginia law, the security deposit cannot be equivalent to more than 2 month s rent. Typically, the security deposit is equivalent to one month s rent. o A security deposit is a sum of money that landlords or property managers require tenants to pay before they move in; the purpose is to have a financial backup if a tenant fails to pay rent or damages the rental property If all rent is paid and the property is left undamaged, the security deposit is returned upon lease expiration UTILITIES: Each apartment or townhouse complex handles utilities in a different way (some will be included in the price of rent, some will not depending on the complex) 12 Revised 02/2016

13 o Utilities include: electricity, water, internet, cable, gas, sewage, trash collection, recycling, snow removal, etc Certain companies will charge set-up fees for setting up services o Harrisonburg Electric Commission (540) o Harrisonburg Water & Sewer (540) o Harrisonburg Trash and Recycling (540) o Comcast (Internet and Cable) (540) For questions on more specific utility information, please contact the apartment or townhouse complex in question TRANSPORTATION: Bus Service o Harrisonburg Department of Public Transportation (HDPT) provides a comprehensive bus route system for getting around Harrisonburg o Specific routes and schedules can be viewed at this link: Taxi Companies o Royal Cab & Limousine (540) o ABC Cab (540) o Yellow Cab (540) Uber o Uber is a smartphone mobile application that can be used for personal transportation. Users of the app are contracted to provide on-demand peer-to-peer driving services that comply with Uber driver and car standards ( RENTERS INSURANCE: Some landlords or complexes may require renters insurance or at least recommend it o Renters insurance is a form of property insurance that provides coverage for a policy holder's belongings and liability within a rental property o Protects against loss of personal property within the rented property Be sure to ask your landlord or property management company about renters insurance to protect your personal property, whether or not it is required and which type of policy they might recommend 13 Revised 02/2016
