DS 2019 is the Certificate of Eligibility to be signed by the sponsor of J-1 visa, in this case, the ECMFG. You use this for interview purposes in the Consulate of your home country in case you'll obtain visa stamping there. A very impt. doc. you have to carry when you enter u.s. coz u have to show it to the immigration inspector at the port of entry.

rx,

4-6 weeks for ECFMG to process your applications and issue the DS 2019 to the TPL. Ask your TPL to mail the DS2019 to you ASAP.
