Immigration Advising

Immigration Services

Immigration support is a critical service that ISSS offers to non-immigrant students and their academic units at KU. To the more than 1,900 international students from more than 100 countries currently enrolled, ISSS advisors offer an accurate and thorough understanding of the immigration regulations that govern F-1, J-1, and numerous other status categories. Members of the campus community are invited to direct immigration-related inquiries to ISSS at any time.
