Darra Klein, Director of Exchange Visitor Programs at the American Council on International Personnel (ACIP), outlines at ILW.com the “vigorous push for increased restrictions and tightened scrutiny of J-1 exchange programs.” Namely, Klein discusses the proposed changes to Subpart A, the general regulations of the Exchange Visitor Program, and the forthcoming release of SEVIS II.

As a reminder, the public comment period on the proposed changes to Subpart A closes next Monday, November 23. Alliance members are encouraged to submit their organizational comments (to jexchanges@state.gov) as soon as possible.
