Dear Participant,
IF you have received a DS 2019 form and received your visa Please remember! If you expect or would like your employer to pick you up at the airport your MUST send your employer an email. AWA does not coordinate airport pick ups.
We have had several emails from students who have arrived at airports with no one scheduled to pick them up... that is because we need your accurate flight information to be entered BEFORE your arrival in the U.S. and you need to email your employer as soon as you can with you exact arrival destination. Please note again that AWA does not coordinate arrival pick ups. Email your employer with your full name, the date and time of your arrival, and your arrival airport. It is helpful if you indicate where you should meet, for example plan to meet outside the airport at a specific terminal number or let your employer know you will be wearing a pink shirt, something to help them identify you. You will find your employer's email on your job offer.
IF you are already in the U.S. please kindly disregard this email. IF you do NOT have your DS 2019 form do NOT book flights. If you are a participant waiting on your DS 2019 form you should check your DS 2019 status with your host agency. You do NOT need to reply to this email.
Thank You,
