Program Validation Form (PVF)

Welcome to Global Current’s J-1 Exchange Visitor Program. Congratulations on securing your training/internship opportunity in the United States. We hope that your time spend here is professionally and culturally rewarding.


SEVIS – The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) was implemented on January 30, 2003 and is used to track all student and exchange visitors to the United States.  

·         In order to remain in good standing with SEVIS, you must inform Global Current of your physical residential address within 10 days of your arrival to the United States. 

·         You will only be permitted to apply for a Social Security number after submitting all necessary information to Global Current and receiving notification that your Program Validation has been completed.

·         If you fail to return your PVF in a timely matter, SEVIS will automatically notify US Citizenship and Immigration Services that you are out of status, which results in your program and visa termination. 

·          If you move at any time during your program, you must submit a new PVF to Global Current within 10 days of your move so that we can update SEVIS.  Additionally, you must also complete Form AR-11, which is the Alien’s Change of Address Card.  This form is can be completed online at: https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11
