J-1 Travel
As a J-1 visa holder, it’s necessary to carry specific documentation with you during various types of travel. The type of documentation you will need depends on whether you are traveling inside or outside of the United States and the method of transportation you plan to use.
Travel Inside of the United States
Students traveling within the U.S. are generally advised to carry paper copies of their passports and DS-2019 forms. These can be used for identification purposes, if needed.
The method of transportation you plan to use can also factor into what type of documentation you need.
