Do I need to renew my Fermilab ID in person or may it be done remotely?
The new DOE requirements mean that all Users must apply and/or renew their Fermilab IDs in person at the Users’ office. Many visiting scientists make frequent visits to the lab every couple of months. Do we need to obtain a new VV pass on each visit? We also often arrive on weekends or after-hours when the Key & ID office is closed. What type of measures are you taking to enable visiting scientists to have short-term visits and weekend/after-hours arrivals? The I-94 determines your status in the United States, and your badge end date is determined by the I-94 expiration date. We recognize that this raises many logistical problems for visiting scientists who arrive on weekends/after-hours who need a badge in order to have access to their experiments. We appreciate your patience, and Fermilab will solve all of these issues by April 4.
