 Notes

*Excellence Reviews for NSF Continuing Status are conducted during the academic year in which the 18th quarter of service occurs and should be completed prior to the commencement of the 19th quarter. Deadlines for each quarter are listed above.

If you are unclear on whether a scholar's appointment will meet J-1 visa criteria or whether an H-1B will be needed, please consult with the Baskin Engineering Academic Personnel Analyst or Director.

The minimum lead times below exclude campus curtailments. 

•    Departments should allow 4 work weeks for position flyers to post to the Recruit system, after they are submitted to the division.

•    Non-senate academic personnel actions that do not require DCAP or CAP review for foreign scholars needing a new J-1 visa, including courtesy appointments, are due to the Dean's Office at least 12 work weeks prior to the proposed effective date. Add 2 work weeks if a waiver of recruitment is needed. If CAP or DCAP review is needed, consult with the academic personnel analyst. Unless there are special circumstances and arrangements made, J-1 scholars should be told to expect their appointment offers and visa documents to arrive via FedEx no later than 6 weeks prior to the effective date of their appointment. Detailed additional information on visa requirements can be found by going to the International Scholar and Student Services web site, "for department" page.

•    Actions for foreign scholars involving a J-1 transfer or J-1 extension are due to the Dean's Office at least 9 work weeks prior to the effective date.

•    Change in status from F-1 to J-1 for a scholar who remains in the country take 8-9 months from the point that they are submitted to ISSS and are due to the Dean's Office 9-10 months prior to the proposed effective date. Change in status from F-1 to J-1 for a scholar who leaves the country to re-enter with the visa take 1-2 months from submission to ISSS and are due to the Dean's Office 2-3 months prior to the start date. Depending on the title, the position may be supported for a change in status for F-1 to H-1B which tends to take less time.

•    Non-senate academic personnel actions with effective dates other than July 1, that do not require visa, DCAP, or CAP review, are due to the Dean's Office at least 8 work weeks prior to the proposed effective date. Add 2 work weeks if a waiver of recruitment is needed.

•    Contingent worker appointment dossiers (Research Fellow, Research Associate, Visiting Scholar, Visiting Scholar -Graduate, Visiting Scholar - Undergraduate) not needing a visa are due to the Dean's Office at least 4 work weeks prior to the proposed effective date.

•    Recalled Faculty (non-teaching) actions are due to the Dean's Office at least 6 work weeks prior to the proposed effective date. Add 4 work weeks for recalls associated with emeriti from other UC campuses for the Multi-Location Agreement process. See above deadlines for temporary teaching appointments for Recall Teaching requests.

•    H-1B visa processing for anyone located outside the U.S. should begin at the department level 10-11 months prior to the proposed effective date and should be submitted to the Dean's Office 8-9 months prior to the proposed effective date, for submission to ISSS 7-8 months in advance of the employment start date.

•    H-1B visa processing for extensions and change of status requests should be submitted to the Dean's office 3-4 months prior to the proposed start date. If the H-1B extension has been submitted to USCIS but is not approved prior to the employee's current H-1B end date, there is a grace period during which they may continue to work but cannot travel outside the U.S. during that time.
