A DSO is available to help you process your immigration forms and documents. Working with INS can be very complicated, detailed, and time-consuming. It is important that you do not rely on information that you pick up from friends and other students because circumstances may vary from one student to another and the regulations can change. DSO's must work within the federal immigration laws. When making a request, please make sure you allow plenty of time for your request to be processed and plan to be patient. Have your documents, such as your passport, I-94 card, I-20 ID with you when you come to the office for immigration assistance.

Important: You should allow at least one week for processing signatures, letters and/or other types of paperwork. Special consideration will be given for emergency situations.

Reminder: Your International Advisors cannot remember when each student's documents expire. It is YOUR responsibility to keep track of all immigration documents and keep them current.
