Mission Statement

The Office of University Immigration Services (UIS) provides document services and visa advising to the University’s diverse international student and scholar population throughout their visa status life cycle from the issuance of the I-20 or DS-2019 until the end of post-program periods of practical training.  The UIS is here to help navigate compliance to often complex visa regulations and to service the immigration needs of F-1 and J-1 students and scholars, their dependents, as well as other non-immigrant visa-holders who seek advice.
