Inviting Foreign Nationals to ΌͺΟιΒ齫
You will find all pertinent information, including checklists and forms, to guide you through the invitation application process in this website.
Foreign national visitors who will receive payment from Towson University and/or spend a lengthy period of time at ΌͺΟιΒ齫 generally enter the U.S. under a ΌͺΟιΒ齫-sponsored J-1 visa. Certain short-term visitors without a ΌͺΟιΒ齫-sponsored J-1 visa may perform services and receive payment, but only if certain conditions are met. In all cases, the visit arrangements should be planned well in advance.
