Hi, Jinxue: Please see below the instruction form ISFS director regarding DS2019. You should start looking into the flight options now, and book a ticket as soon as you receive the passport. Because the school has started, I may not be able to meet you at the Columbus Airport, which is 80 miles from Athens. There is a Gobus running twice daily between the Columbus Airport (right outside the luggage pickup area) and OU Campus, which costs only $15 and takes 2 hours to get to Athens. [They just changed their website, and I haven't been able to find their new schedule yet. I'll email you the info when I have it.] Below is the link to a magazine produced by the Chinese Learner's Association, which contains price info on Athens Apartments. http://www.ohio.edu/orgs/cla/docs/learners.pdf. You can also send an email to cssa-l at listserv.ohio.edu <mailto: cssa-l at listserv.ohio.edu > to look for roommates to share an apartment, or look for a ride from the airport (be prepared to pay for the ride). In order to receive the replies, you would need to subscribe the list at http://listserv.ohio.edu/mailman/listinfo/cssa-l Please let me know if you need additional info or help, and hope everything will go smoothly for you from now on. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

BTW - we still need to find time for that cup of tea...

Please advise whether or not he would need an up dated DS2019, and if so, please issue one ASAP to avoid further delay. Many thanks and best regards, Jim From: Dr. Prof. Jinxue Xu [mailto: xujx at dlmu.edu.cn ] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 1:02 AM To: Zhu, Jim Subject: consult Hi, Prof. Zhu, By consulting with Shenyang Consulate of US, they tell me that if I plan to arrive later than the start date on my DS2019, I must notify my sponsoring department and ISFS immediately and may need an updated DS2019 depending on my arrival date. And the updated DS2019 needs to be re-signed by Visa Officer. Please give me some suggestion. Although the visa has been approved, it will need several days for me to obtain the passport with visa mailed by US Consulate.
