Program Redesignation
Redesignation is required every five years, unless the program has been
designated for a shorter period of time by the Department of State. Au
Pair Exchange Programs are redesignated every two years. The period of
designation and the redesignation due date are stated in the Designation
or Redesignation Letter or in the most recent official correspondence
amending the designation.
Sponsors may advise the Exchange Visitor Program staff of their desire
to be redesignated by submitting a completed Form DS-3036 or by so indicating
on the Annual Report Form.
The sponsor is to complete and notarize the requisite redesignation application
form and submit it to the Department. The sponsor's program file, annual
reports, and other relevant program documents are reviewed, and, if necessary
the sponsor may be asked to provide additional information.
A letter of redesignation is issued once the Department has determined
that the sponsor's program is in compliance with all relevant regulations.
