|Primary Investigator:
|Manne, Sharon
|Fox Chase Cancer Center
|Project Title:
|Tailored Intervention for Melanoma Patients' Families
|Fiscal Year:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM), the most deadly type of skin cancer, is increasing by epidemic proportions. There are both primary prevention methods and skin cancer surveillance methods for CMM. Because there is substantial evidence from cohort and case-control studies that melanoma is associated with sun exposure, primary prevention involves limiting exposure to solar radiation and applying sunscreen. Because thickness of the lesion is the best predictor of prognosis, skin cancer surveillance by total cutaneous examination (TCE) and skin self-examination (SSE) is thought to increase the chances of detecting thinner melanoma lesions and thereby reducing mortality and morbidity from this disease. However, epidemiologic data supporting regular skin cancer surveillance remains equivocal compared to data supporting other cancer detection and prevention practices. Thus, it may be premature to target average risk populations for interventions to improve skin cancer surveillance practices. However, a strong case can be made for focusing prevention and surveillance efforts on subgroups of individuals at increased risk for melanoma. These individuals would benefit from information about the health behavior changes that may reduce their melanoma risk. In the proposed study, we focus on first degree relatives of individuals diagnosed with melanoma who have one additional risk factor (e.g., blonde hair). Research indicates that family members pay little attention to sun protection and to skin cancer surveillance. Guided by the Preventive Health Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior, we have been able to elucidate key attitudinal factors that play a role in UV protection and CMM surveillance practices among family members at increased risk. We have utilized these data to design a tailored print and telephone counseling intervention targeted to family members of individuals with melanoma. The primary aim of the proposed study is to refine our tailored messages and conduct a randomized clinical trial testing a tailored print and phone counseling intervention against the best available public health education materials for skin cancer prevention. We will target family members who are not compliant with TCE and who are minimal performers of SSE and sun protection. 396 family members will complete the study. Outcomes will be evaluated in terms of TCE, SSE and sun protection habits, as well as changes in attitudes and knowledge about CMM

Panasonic DX900U UHD 4K smart TV review: Best all-round TV ever?
Best all-round TV ever? Panasonic's TH-65DX900U is both huge and hugely impressive.
Best all-round TV ever? Panasonic's TH-65DX900U is both huge and hugely impressive.
A high-end camera that produced inconsistent image quality

Panasonic took a bunch of media folk to the grounds of Ben Hur in Homebush. Besides corporate seating, attendees got a backstage tour to witness all the efforts that went into producing the theatrical spectacular. Panasonic also showed off its latest Toughbook machines and devices aimed at the health sector.
Primary and secondary school students from across Australia congregated at the Sydney Powerhouse Museum yesterday for the Panasonic Kid Witness News (KWN) awards. KWN is a video competition that encourages school students to shoot, direct and star in their own short movies covering topics such as sports, culture and the environment. The annual event is held globally, with more than 630 primary and secondary schools competing last year.
Panasonic yesterday launched its 2010 home entertainment line-up in Melbourne. Australian Managing Director, Steve Rust, opened the event by discussing the company's aims for the year ahead.
Panasonic has released two new Micro Four Thirds-based cameras that are aimed at point-and-shoot consumers looking to step up to something better, or professional users looking for something less bulky yet as capable as a digital SLR. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G2 replaces the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G1 in the company's interchangeable lens camera line-up, while the Panasonic LUMIX DMX-G10 is a lower-cost option that will compete alongside the likes of the Olympus PEN E-PL1 and the Samsung NX10.
Longtime Tesla battery partner, Panasonic, said it will spend up to $US1.6 billion on the lithium-ion battery Gigafactory in the hopes it can cement its future in automotive electronics.
In another sign of the living spaces of elderly Japanese going hi-tech, seniors in Osaka are undergoing an Internet of Things (IoT) experiment involving cloud-connected air conditioners and motion sensors.
Sony's push to get enterprise users to store data on optical discs has received added momentum with its acquisition of a Facebook-linked startup focused on optical storage.
Panasonic's 2015 range of LED LCD televisions features over 20 new models that span across eight different series, but four of those series, and indeed 60 per cent of the entire range (11 models), is composed of 4K, Ultra High Definition models.
Panasonic is contributing some of its own software and patents to the cause of making the Internet of Things work.
Few tech categories have managed to innovate over the past 10+ years like TVs. Perhaps there was a slight lull in 2015 but otherwise every new year brings a big advance in TV technology.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Some of the biggest names in sport, politics and showbusiness today united in calling for Muhammad Ali to receive an honorary knighthood.
Mayor Boris Johnson, Olympic boxing champions Anthony Joshua and Nicola Adams, and Hollywood star Luke Evans are among those demanding Britain honours the sportsman known as "The Greatest".
Ali is due in London within days to open a major exhibition into his life and 12,000 have already signed a Change.org petition set up by ex-world heavyweight champion David Haye calling for Britain to formally recognise him.
Ali thrilled millions during a career that transformed boxing and transcended sport.
His quick wit, struggle against discrimination and refusal to fight in the Vietnam war ensured he became an icon.
London Olympics gold medalist Joshua, himself bidding to win the world heavyweight title, said: "What makes Ali such a role model is the battles he had to go through He was fighting through the civil rights movement. He was more than just a boxer, he was a leader for many people."
Evans added: "Muhammad Ali was not just an incredible athlete, he was is inspiration.

"He was an incredible fighter but also a fantastic personality away from the ring. He was at the height of his fame during a critical period of US history, helping the civil rights movement and being a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War. Huge issues he faced with dignity and respect."
"What better way to honour him than with an honorary knighthood on what could be his last ever visit to the UK?"
Mr Johnson said: "As a child, bashing the top of an old ropey black and white telly, I would sit mesmerised by grainy images of a hero who seemed to float above his opponents: the grace, guile, speed of hand.
"From race relations to religious freedom, he fought tireless and principled struggles all his life. I can't think of a more fitting recipient of an honorary knighthood."
Previous non-UK nationals to have received the honour include Terry Wogan, Bob Geldof, Bono, Steven Spielberg and Kevin Spacey. But Ali, now 74 and showing the effects of a battle with Parkinson's disease, would be the first boxer.
The O2's I Am The Greatest show, opening March 4 will tell his story.
After winning Olympic gold in 1960, Ali became world heavyweight boxing champion three times, in 1964, 1974 — the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" with George Foreman — and 1978.
When he refused to fight in Vietnam he was arrested, stripped of his titles and exiled from boxing for three years. But he fought his way back to being heavyweight champion.
Haye said: "Ali turned boxing into an entertainment sport. He is a poet, he is a prophet. He used to predict what round he would beat his opponent in.
"This is at a time in America when most black people would just keep their mouth shut. He was ruffling feathers."
London Olympics star Nicola Adams said watching videos of Ali's victory at the 1960 Rome Games spurred her on: "If it wasn't for me seeing him box I may never have started and I wouldn't have won Great Britain's first women's Olympic gold medal in boxing."
Nominations for knighthoods are considered by a Whitehall committee, who then make recommendations to No 10 before being passed on to the Queen.

What Is the New York Foodshed, Anyway?
Not the New York foodshed.
In an article he wrote for the Huffington Post last week, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer outlined his plans for making food policy a priority for city government.
Among the initiatives he mentioned was a city "foodshed...consisting of farms in a given radius of the city where growers of healthy food would have special access to city markets and from which government purchasers of food would be required to buy a certain percent of their vegetables, dairy products and other items."
Intrigued by the idea -- and admittedly envisioning a big, padlocked shed somewhere in the Hudson Valley -- Fork in the Road called up the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, which, along with Columbia University's Earth Institute, is working with Stringer on the project.
Jill Isenbarger, the executive director of Stone Barns, explains that the foodshed is currently in an academic study phase, but will be an "in-depth exam of the local food production and capacity of the New York metro region."
The point of the project is to get more information about where food comes from, "to look for context, like transportation infrastructure and climatic conditions. It will help us and other organizations to think about production capacity for this region, and teach us about areas of the food system that are the most vulnerable." They're looking for concrete data on issues that farmers confront, such as, for example, the challenges they face in processing animals for consumption.
The project came about last September, Isenbarger says, at a meeting Stringer hosted to discuss food justice and increasing the accessibility of fresh food to underserved communities throughout the city. Once it's in full swing, the foodshed project, she says, will take anywhere from a year to 18 months to complete.
Isenbarger describes the project as a sum of many moving parts. "I would say parts are trying to analyze and quantify food production in the region, and making the comparison between existing and potential production -- what do we produce now, and how might we think of narrowing that gap?" There are plenty of variables to explore, such as soil quality, transportation structure, and the length of the growing season. And there are plenty of regional challenges that also present opportunities, such as abandoned farmland and the question of how to better connect farmers both to one another and to underserved communities.
Ideally, Isenbarger says, the foodshed will ultimately be used to "break down financial, social, and political barriers to create a more fair food environment and to give people better access to good food."
Though that won't include access to an actual shed. "I was at a community meeting where someone asked about how to get keys to the shed," Isenbarger recalls. "I think she was imagining a Gramercy Park situation."

Norwich — Two police officers were injured late Thursday when a car they attempted to pull over crashed into their cruiser.
At about 11:15 p.m., Officers Kenneth Wright and Christopher Nott stopped a motor vehicle in the area of Boswell Avenue and Seventh Street. After a brief interaction with the officers, the driver of the vehicle drove away at a high rate of speed.
Officers briefly followed the vehicle onto Prospect Street, but soon called off the pursuit. The officers lost sight of the car as it continued south on Prospect.
Apparently, police said, the driver turned onto a parallel street and began to travel north in the direction of the two officers who were no longer pursuing the vehicle. When the driver turned left again and failed to stop at a stop sign, the vehicle collided with the officers' patrol car at the intersection of Prospect and Tenth streets, police said.
Wright and Nott were injured in the collision and each were treated at William W. Backus Hospital then released.
Police charged the driver of the vehicle, Romance W. Brown, 24, of 191 Laurel Hill Ave. with second-degree assault, reckless driving, interfering with police, failure to obey a stop sign and engaging police in pursuit.
Three parked cars also were damage in the crash.
A stop sign and the Tenth Street sign also were damaged and were still on the ground early Friday morning. A torn fender from one of the parked cars rested on the doorstep of a home at 258 Prospect St.
A passenger in the car, Jamal D. Wright, 43, of 44 Norwich Ave. was arrested on charges unrelated to the collision - interfering with police, third-degree criminal mischief and failure to submit to fingerprints.
This is not the first time the pair have been arrested together. In July 2009, they were charged with robbing and assaulting a man on West Main Street in Norwich.
Both men were being held on bond, pending their arraignment Friday in Norwich Superior Court.
This is the second time this week that Norwich police officers were injured while responding to a call. Officer Jonathan Ley was shot multiple times Monday during a standoff with a suicidal man at the Cedar Glen Apartments on Cedar Street. Ley was released from the hospital Thursday.

Institutional Investor -- one of the most influential voices among pension funds, investment consultants, and others in the institutional investment community -- published a very well written article by Judy Ward called "Public, Private Real Estate Split the Best Shot at Lowering Risk." The article focuses on analysis that I did (and wrote about at SeekingAlpha.com) using actual historical returns to show that pension funds and other institutional investors could have both increased returns and reduced volatility in their real estate portfolios if they did dramatically more of their real estate investing through publicly traded REITs.
The average pension fund real estate portfolio is allocated only about 9% to publicly traded REITs, but optimally constructed portfolios should have more like one-third allocated to REITs in order to benefit both from diversification (the lead-lag relationship between the public and private sides of the real estate market) and from the fact that REITs post dramatically stronger performance than private real estate investments, even when the private managers use much more leverage to goose up their returns. (You can see the difference and explore different portfolio combinations with the Real Estate Portfolio Optimizer here.)
The analysis isn't directly applicable to individual investors, for whom it's hard to find any good reason to invest in private real estate given its inferior performance and extreme illiquidity. The reason that the Institutional Investor article is important to individual investors is that pension funds in the U.S. total around $5 trillion in assets, which means that any broad shift in their investment patterns is likely to have a significant impact on relative returns among different assets. For example, if the average pension fund invests 7% in the real estate asset class, and shifts the REIT portion of that from 9% to 33% of the real estate portfolio, that would amount to something like $84 million of new money being invested in publicly traded REITs. (Separately, Morningstar has found several times that the real estate asset class should amount to something more like 20% of an overall pension fund portfolio, which would imply a much bigger shift.)
The article quotes Anatole Pevnev of The Townsend Group, perhaps the leading investment consultant for institutional investors focused exclusively on real estate portfolios:
Despite the fact that REITs have been around since the early 60s, it is only in the past 10 years that we have had the depth in the market that pension funds need. It is just becoming a more mature asset class.
That maturation means that pension funds are finding it easier to invest in REITs to take advantage of their better returns and low correlation, both with their private real estate holdings and with their stock portfolios.
If pension funds continue to move toward greater real estate investing through publicly traded REITs--even if that movement is gradual--then that suggests a long-term disequilibrium in which demand for REIT stocks increases ahead of supply, driving up returns.
REITs already have an advantage over private real estate investors in the form of greater access to capital--both equity and debt--on more favorable terms, but if pension funds move toward more REIT investing then that advantage is likely to become more pronounced. Personally, I think it's likely that the last 20 years have been merely the first two decades of what is probably a four- or five-decade disequilibrium, and that may be part of the reason that long-term returns for REITs have actually been significantly better than long-term returns for the rest of the stock market. (Average returns over the last 20 years: 12.0% per year for equity REITs compared to just 8.8% for the S&P 500 and 10.0% for the Russell 2000)
An asset shift like that doesn't mean that every month (or quarter, or year) will be positive -- there will still be real estate market cycles -- but for long-term investors it can amount to a lot of money even if there's only a slight advantage every year.

Sheryl Vollrath and Samantha
Hundreds of local residents who have been patients of
Fauquier Hospital
or have visited here have enjoyed the tag-wagging presence of our Pet Therapy dogs. One of the veterans of the program was Samantha, whose owner Sheryl Vollrath, was director of the program.
On March 29, Samantha made what was to be the last of her 400-plus Pet Therapy visits. Her journey as a Pet Therapy dog started in Endicott, N.Y., in June 2001 and continued at Fauquier Hospital in March 2003 after moving to Virginia from New York.
Samantha knew that Tuesday's were "work days" and loved visiting her many friends and sharing with the patients at the hospital. Her dedication was recognized with the Fauquier Hospital Spirit of Planetree Animal Therapy Award in 2009 and the Therapy Dog International Exceptional Volunteer Achievement Award in July 2011.
Samantha will be missed by Fauquier Hospital patients, visitors and staff.

Editorial Reviews
Including analyses of social theory, natural and moral evil, transnational contexts, black womens embodiment, legacies of lynching, African American sex and sexuality and more, this text demonstrates how scholarship confronts challenges of our era by participating in the important work of transgression and resistance. Rosetta Ross, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Spelman College
This rich collection of womanist theological ethics makes wonderfully creative use of Alice Walkers classic definition, taking the reader through historic and contemporary accounts of race as it intersects with gender and class. Mary McClintock Fulkerson, Professor of Theology, Duke University Divinity School
This reader on the womanist tradition in Christian ethics is a treasure of new and classic essays and a godsend for theological educators. Gary Dorrien, Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, Columbia University
This collection raises important issues articulated by the leading womanist scholars in ethics and theology today. I recommend it. James H. Cone, Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology, Union Theological Seminary
In this book readers will find vivid discussions of the unspeakable cruelties that were inflicted on African American women as well as careful analyses of the constructive religious responses those women have made to their horrific experiences. Every scholar in religion should feel a moral obligation to learn about and respond to the many challenges that this perceptive book provides. Peter J. Paris, Professor Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
This unique volume offers readers an opportunity to think through the felt and practiced nature and meaning of Christian womanist life and scholarship. We have waited a long time for such a book. Anthony Pinn, Professor of Humanities, Rice University

9.4mm Fusion Ion R 80m
The IonR is the largest diameter rope in the fusion range. Our core construction improves all the specs, but retains the handling characteristics that won the original such a loyal following. The most substantial rope of the Fusion series, it remains a lightweight, high-performance entrant. It's unique design is manufactured by first twisting multiple colored fibers into a single sheath-strand and then braiding the sheath to create the speckled pattern. It's diameter is a great size for intermediate climbers looking to match a lightweight rope with performance while knowing that the diameter isn't TOO thin for a beginner belayer.

July 19-25: 40 Killed; Shining Path Guerrillas Shut Down Much of Lima
By JAMES BROOKE
Published: July 26, 1992
Surveying a swath of broken glass and broken bodies left by Shining Path car bombs in Lima, Bishop Miguel Cabrejos Vidarte consoled his flock early last week, saying they were living through "the most difficult moment in all of Peru's history." The next day the Maoist guerrillas shut down most activity in Peru's capital, calling a two-day "armed strike."
Shining Path enforced its strike call with more violence: car bombs, attacks on the police and the burning of taxis and buses. At least 40 were killed and hundreds were wounded. Damage included the destruction of Bolivia's Embassy, the shattering of windows at Peru's archeological museum and heavy harm to the Institute of Freedom and Democracy, a world-renowned free-market study center run by Hernando de Soto, a former adviser to President Alberto K. Fujimori.
On Tuesday, Peru's independence day, the President is expected to announce tough new anti-terror measures during an annual address on the state of the nation. Traditionally, the speech is delivered in Peru's Congress building. But, in another break with history, Peru's President closed Congress April 5.

Two researchers from the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, NJ, Steve Lawrence and C. Lee Giles, have published a paper in Nature Magazine that tells everyone something you already know. That is, search engines don't find that much.
Not only do most of the popular search engines index less than 10 percent of the web (Yahoo, the index created by human hands, indexes just 7.4 percent), but they say the engines are biased because they are most likely to index popular U.S. commercial sites. (As my teenage daughter might say, "Like, DUUH!")
Given the huge growth of the web and the concerted efforts of "Spamdexers" to make sure client pages are not only indexed but that they're found first, this is as surprising as news that the sun comes up in the east. But the wire services are spinning this one as another web horror storyMost of it (presumably the good stuff, most likely your stuff) can't be found.
I don't use Spamdexers (although I did once review "WebPosition Gold," a Spamdex software package), so I decided to conduct a little experiment. I searched for my own newsletter, a-clue.com, on all the major search engines (and a few minor ones).
I wasn't interested in seeing that I was indexed based on a relevant keyword like "e-commerce newsletters" or "great web stuff." I avoided the keywords I used in the WebPosition review last year. Instead I just searched for the main part of the URL, a-clue.com. Here's what I found:
Despite 30 months of weekly publication, and my 1997 submission of the site, Yahoo still hasn't found a-clue.com. But my fans should not despair. The Inktomi search engine, which finds web pages using a computer, did have it. It was even the number three listing. This makes me wonder why Yahoo hasn't used Inktomi to improve its indexing capabilities, but their profits beat street estimates this week. The stock is up. So who cares?
Next, Excite. I like Excite. They not only found a-clue.com, but the home page was the number one hit. And I've never submitted a-clue.com to Excite.
Some engines couldn't find a-clue.com at all; not on the first page of listings anyway. By my reckoning, Alta Vista, Dogpile, Direct Hit and LookSmart all failed this test. But overall results were pretty good. I'm number one with Lycos and Northern Light, third with Google, and fifth with Thunderstone.
Perhaps the most surprising finding was that a page of feedback from Chris Tyler (previously online November 30 of last year) is apparently easier for search engines to find than my main page. Hotbot has got that as its number three hit, as did GoTo.Com, and MSN found that page at number two. A feedback item from September 14 was found first by Infoseek, listing my home page as sixth.
What did I learn from all this? If you're in e-commerce, it doesn't really matter whether search engines have indexed the whole web, so long as they can find your site. Check your own site in this way and let us know what you find…you may be surprised.

How to Apply for a J-1 Visa From Overseas
Steps to take to obtain a U.S. visa as an exchange student.
The J-1 visa allows entry to the U.S. for participation in already-established exchange visitor programs. The object of these programs is to foster mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and those of other countries in the world, through educational and cultural interaction. For more information on basic eligibility, see A J-1 Visa to the U.S.: Who Qualifies?.
If you are interested in participating in such an exchange program, here is an introduction to the application process. Getting a J-1 visa from overseas involves four major steps:
- You apply to, and are accepted by, an exchange program.
- Your designated program sponsor sends you a Form DS-2019 "Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status."
- You apply for a visa at a U.S. consulate in your home country
- You enter the U.S. and claim your J-1 status.
(If you are Canadian, your application procedures will be different from those of other applicants. Nolo's book U.S. Immigration Made Easy contains details.)
Step One: You Find a Sponsoring Organization
You cannot start the J-1 application process until you have been admitted to an exchange program approved by the U.S. Department of State (DOS), through its Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). The State Department provides a list of approved organizations, on its Find Designated Sponsor Organizations page. You'll probably need to get started well in advance.
Step Two: Your Sponsoring Organization Issues a Certificate of Eligibility
Once a program has accepted you, it will issue you a Certificate of Eligibility, or SEVIS Form DS-2019. You do not fill out or sign any part of it. But be sure to carefully check the form for accuracy. Ask your sponsoring organization to correct any errors. You'll use the DS-2019 in the next steps of your application process.
Step Three: Applying at a U.S. Consulate in Your Country
Anyone with a Certificate of Eligibility (Form DS-2019) from an exchange visitor program sponsor can apply for a J-1 visa at a U.S. consulate in his or her home country. You must be physically present in order to apply there.
You can normally apply any time before your program begins. Because of processing delays, it's best to apply as soon as you have your DS-2019 form. Check with your local U.S. consulate regarding its application procedures. Many insist on advance appointments. Just getting an appointment can take several weeks, so plan ahead.
Your application will consist of the online State Department Form DS-160 as well as documents that you collect yourself, as itemized on the checklist below.
- Form SEVIS DS-2019, filled out by your sponsoring organization.
- Receipt for having paid the SEVIS fee (currently $180).
- Form DS-160, Nonimmigrant Visa Application. This form must be prepared and submitted online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv.
- Fee receipt showing that you have paid the relevant machine-readable visa (MRV) application fee at a nearby financial institution (currently $160). The financial institution at which you must pay depends on the country. Check the website of the U.S. consulate where you plan to apply for your visa in order to learn where to pay your fee in advance. Most consulates will not allow you to pay the visa fee at the time of interview.
- Visa reciprocity fee. There's a small chance you may have to pay an additional fee if you are from a country that charges similar fees for visas to U.S. citizens.
- Your passport, valid for at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S.
- One passport-type photo of you and one of your spouse and each of your children, 2 inches x 2 inches.
- Long-form birth certificate for you and each accompanying spouse or child.
- Marriage certificate if you are married and bringing your spouse.
- If either you or your spouse has ever been married before, copies of divorce and death certificates showing termination of all previous marriages.
- If your program involves studying at a school: transcripts, diplomas, and results of any standardized tests required by the school you will be attending, showing your previous education and your qualifications to pursue your chosen course of study.
- Documents showing reasons that you will return to your home country, such as ownership of real estate, relationships with close family members staying behind, or proof that a job will be waiting for you on your return.
- If you are entering a flight training program, documents showing your reason for the training (be specific) current employer and your position, who is paying for the training (name and relationship), your most recent flight certifications and ratings, information on what kind of aircraft the training is for (document must be signed by a school official in the United States), certified takeoff weight of the aircraft type (document must be signed by a school official in the United States), and current rank or title if you are presently working as an active pilot.
- If your program doesn't include salaried employment, proof of sufficient funds, such as:
- USCIS Form I-134, Affidavit of Support from a U.S. friend or relative, or a letter from a friend or relative promising support.
- Bank statements.
- Personal financial statements.
- Evidence of your current sources of income.
Before your visa appointment at the U.S. consulate in your home country, you will need to pay a fee to support the U.S. student tracking database called SEVIS. Your school or sponsoring organization may take care of processing this fee payment for you.
If not, you'll need to do it yourself, either online or by mail. To submit the form online, go to www.FMJfee.com, complete the online Form I-901, and pay with a credit card. To submit the form by mail, download Form I-901 from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) website, and mail it, together with your check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in U.S. currency, to the address indicated on the form.
For more information on these requirements, see the ICE website.
Once you get a receipt for having made this payment, you'll need to use it for your consular interview.
Attending Your Consular Interview
Most consulates will require an interview before issuing a J-1 exchange visitor visa. During the interview, a consular officer will examine the forms and documents for accuracy. The consular officer will verify your DS-2019 record electronically through the SEVIS system. Documents proving your ability to finance your study will be carefully checked, as will evidence of ties to your home country. During the interview, you will surely be asked how long you intend to remain in the United States. Any answer indicating uncertainty about plans to return home or an interest in applying for a green card is likely to result in a denial of your student visa.
Because of security requirements, you are unlikely to be approved for your visa on the same day as your interview. The consular officer will need to compare your name against various databases of people with a history of criminal activity, violations of U.S. immigration laws, or terrorist affiliations. This can add weeks or months to the processing of your visa, particularly if you come from a country that the U.S. suspects of supporting terrorism.
Step Four: Entering the U.S. Using Your J-1 Visa
You'll be allowed to enter the U.S. up to 30 days before the start of your classes or program, but no earlier. When you arrive in the U.S. with your new J-1 visa, the border officer will examine your paperwork, ask you some questions, and if all is in order, approve you for entry.
The officer will stamp your passport and note your period of stay as "D/S" for Duration of Status. In addition to the annotation in your passport, you can download an I-94 Departure Record confirming your arrival date and status from the Customs & Border Protection website. Duration of Status means that you can stay until the completion of your program. As a practical matter, however, you are permitted to remain up to the expiration date on your SEVIS Form DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility.
Each time you exit and reenter the U.S., you will get a new Form I-94 for the same "D/S" period.
