J1 visa person/entity paying your trip question answer if your sponsor is US univrsty

[count]

Hello everyone... I am going to apply for J1 visa as post-doctoral researcher. My professor in the university in US will pay my salary .. my sponsor is a professor from the University in US and this information is also written in my DS2019 form as 'current sponsor program funds'. I am confused with this question 'person/entity paying your trip' on DS160 form. What should I select for the answer of this question? Should I select other/company organization and write the university name or professors name ?? Or should I select self as the answer of this question.

If you can help me I will greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you so much for your help and time

Any answer?

Hi, I am struggling with the same interpretation of this question: who's paying for the trip: SELF or the ORGANIZATION that will employ me?
Does anyone has experience?
Also for my husband's J-2 visa, I deal with the same question: should he fill out SELF, OTHER PERSON (=me), or ORGANIZATION (= my employer)

Any help is much appreciated!

We had faced the same problem. My wife applied for J1 and I have for J2. But at the time of filling up the form I have selected Organization, since her University was bearing our travel expense.
