Travel Advisory

H-1B, O-1 and Mexican TN Visa
All non U.S. Citizens and non Permanent residents planning to travel outside of the U.S. who plan to return must have the following documents to present for reentry into the U.S.:  

  1. A valid passport.
  2. An original I-797 Approval Notice from the BCIS which is valid for a period beyond the anticipated travel.
  3. A valid H-1B or O-1 visa stamp in the passport.
  4. An employment verification letter from Human Resources. Contact Sheila Carenzo via email to obtain a letter.
Please Note:  In the interest of national security, federal mandates must be followed. If you have an H-1B or O-1 visa stamp that expired less than a year ago, you may be eligible to obtain a new visa stamp inside the United States. Please contact the U.S. Department of State for “visa revalidation” information. This may take over 4 months to obtain. If the present visa stamp in your passport has expired over a year you must secure the visa from the US Embassy in the country of travel as all U.S. embassies have different procedures for visa application. This procedure can take over 30 to 45 days, It is strongly recommended that you review the specific information on their website or contact them prior to your travel. To contact a specific embassy, visit the U.S. Embassies website. Individuals from certain countries or from certain disciplines may be subject to additional security clearance. Additional travel information is also available at the US Department of State website.

For visa processing at the US Embassies in the country of travel, the following is also required:

  1. Copy of the form I-129 filed by the employer.
  2. Copy of the Labor Condition Application (does not apply for O-1).
  3. Copy of the Department’s support letter.
  4. Employment verification letter from the Department of Human Resources. Contact Sheila Carenzo via email to obtain a letter.
  5. Original copy of the Pay Statement from the UConn Health Center.
  6. Original copy of your Diplomas. Physicians will be required to provide their license original.
  7. Marriage certificate for your spouse and birth certificates for your children if your dependents will be applying for J-2 dependent visas.
