Address Reporting for J-1 Students

As required by federal regulations you must provide our office with a physical U.S. address (also known as local address) while you are on an J-1 visa studying at NJIT. International students MUST have at least 2 types of address listed on the Pipeline:

Local address = U.S. address

Permanent address = address in your home country

As an F-1/J-1 visa holder you DO NOT have a permanent address in the U.S. Take a moment now to make any necessary changes to your address in the Pipeline. Make sure your address is entered correctly and it is not set to expire. Without your local address you are at risk of losing your immigration status.
