UC San Diego is required to update a J-1 scholar's immigration record and issue a new DS-2019 if there are any changes to a J-1 scholar's program. If any of these items change, your UCSD department should submit an amendment request to ISEO in iServices. Therefore, please inform your department of any of the following changes:
All changes in site of activity, funding amounts or sources, and/or significant changes in job duties, must be reported to the International Services and Engagement Office. Your department administrator will need to submit an amendment on your behalf, so please speak to your departmental contact first.
Changes in an H-1B Employee's job, including position title, work location, or significant changes in job duties and salary, will require an H-1B amendment petition be sent to USCIS before the change takes place. For example, a Postdoctoral Scholar Employee that begins teaching will require an H-1B amendment petition be submitted to USCIS before the teaching can take place as this is a significant change in job duties.
In this situation, department administrators and H-1B employees should submit an H-1B amendment request to ISEO in iServices.
