Your experience in [AREA OF EXPERTISE] will be very beneficial. [NAME OF PROFESSOR / SUPERVISOR] will provide a place for you to sit and the necessary equipment/laboratory space for you to conduct research. When you arrive at the University of Arizona, please meet with [NAME OF PROFESSOR / SUPERVISOR] to discuss your duties and what will be expected of you.  \nVisiting scholars enjoy: (a) library privileges identical with those of the faculty; (b) the privilege of auditing classes without fee or record, as space allows; (c) the privilege of attending and taking part in seminars; and (d) the use of laboratory and other space and facilities to the extent they are available. In addition, Visiting Scholars may purchase faculty and parking permits and tickets to Artist Series events at faculty rates.  \nI must point out that the [DEPARTMENT OR COLLEGE] does not have the funds for reimbursement or stipends and I understand that you will be arriving on your own funding. The amount of funds the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service requires is $2,000 per month for yourself, with an additional $700 per month for each dependent accompanying you, if applicable. If you are using personal funds foryour support, I will need a letter from your bank verifying you have the funds. If you will be receiving ongoing salary from your employer, please have an official of your employer verify the amount in writing to me.

Failure to maintain the required insurance will result in termination of your Exchange Visitor program.  \nThe Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires that you produce documents that authorize you to be in the United States. On your arrival to the UArizona, you must present to the department original documents to establish (1) your true identity and (2) eligibility to be in the United States. Please consult with the [DEPARTMENT OR COLLEGE] Personnel Office upon your arrival for further information regarding this requirement.  \nI look forward to meeting you and wish you a very rewarding collaboration with [NAME OF PROFESSOR / SUPERVISOR] .  \nIf the conditions are clear and you accept this offer, please sign below and return as soon as possible by mail or fax.
