Welcome to JR/IS
As part of the Human Resources Department, the JLab Registration/International Services Office (JRIS) provides assistance to all Jefferson Lab personnel for completion of registration, training requirements, badging, and all areas of visa/immigration. Our goal is to provide our researchers and employees with an organized, efficient transition into the Lab, in the shortest possible timeframe, while ensuring that we comply with all required on-site policies and procedures. We are located in the Support Service Center, Building 28, and are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm.
*International Visitor Registration*
The U.S. Department of Energy requires all non-U.S. citizens to provide passport, visa, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services information before entry to Jefferson Lab. In addition, DOE headquarters approval is required before entry of persons whose country of origin is Cuba, Iran, Sudan or Syria. All non-U.S. citizens must bring and present government-issued picture identification, i.e. passport or green card, and current USCIS documents for review. Entry to Jefferson Lab may be denied if identification and current immigration status cannot be verified. JLab Registration/International Services is located at Support Service Center, Building 28, on the Jefferson Lab campus.
An Invitation letter is required at the port of entry for all non US citizens requesting a business visa (B-1, WB) to participate in research, workshop, conferences and meetings at JLab. These activities are prohibited with Tourist Visa (B-2, WT)
