You may request a transfer out of your J-1 SEVIS record to another U.S. Exchange Visitor (J-1) designated institution by submitting the request through the MyBruin International Portal. You will need your International Portal ID and PIN to access the portal.
A transfer request can only take place if:
- your J-1 visa category will remain the same at the new institution,
- your subject of activity is similar to your current UCLA activity,
- you do not exceed the maximum program duration of your J-1 visa category, and
- your new institution is a designated J-1 sponsor
Your new institution will make these determinations when accepting the transfer-out request from UCLA.
