We recommend that you skip the entire address section and leave it blank. If you would like your Yale host department to send you the Form DS-2019 by courier service (FedEx or UPS), please provide your host department (not OISS) with the address they should use to ship your form.
Dependents Information
If you will be coming to Yale with family members (spouse or children under 21 years old), you may add them here by clicking the + Add button and filling out the required information. Click here to learn more about J-2 status for family members .
