The United States Department of State (USDOS) has updated its document order requirements for J-1 Visa Waiver applications and now allows applications to be submitted electronically. The proposed changes to ARSD 44:63 incorporate these federal updates by revising the required order of documents in the application, allowing electronic submission of J-1 Visa Waiver applications, requiring the application fee to be received within 10 business days of electronic submission, revising the definition of full-time employment to clarify requirements for shift-based physicians, and allowing the case number to be displayed in the bottom right-hand corner of each application page.
Moved by Sen. Howard, seconded by Sen. Larson; the J-1 visa waiver rules were deemed complete by unanimous vote.
