Travel outside of the USA while in a Summer J-1 Visa program

If you want to travel outside of the USA while in a J-1 Visa (summer work travel or Camp Counselor) the following conditions must be met:
 
The current J-1 visa stamped into the participant’s passport is not marked “1”, “one”, or “single” under the word “entry”. It should read “ M” or Multiple
 
The departure time is within the dates on the DS-2019 form. You cannot travel outside of the United States in your 30 days period.
 
You have to ensure your entry in the USA is within the dates in your DS-2019.
 
You must send your DS-2019 form to YMCA International Branch/ ICCP at least two weeks before the intended trip. A self-addressed-stamped envelope should be included.
 
You are responsible for obtaining any visas required by the country you will visit.
 

Before you can leave the United States, a Responsible Officer at YMCA International must endorse the DS-2019 form. This form is then returned to you in the self addressed stamped envelope.  You will need this signature to re-enter the United States to continue your program.
