Your Status is Your Responsibility
- ISS advisors are trained professionals who are available to guide and support students concerning their immigration requirements and benefits.
- International students must assume primary responsibility for knowing the requirements and benefits of their immigration status and for acquiring current information as it changes.
- Information is available on government websites, including Study in the States and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program. Students and alumni may also choose to seek legal advice.
Legal Advising
The ISS office can provide general immigration information, but we are not able to provide specific legal advice. Our obligation to OSU’s F-1 and J-1 students and scholars is to interpret the regulations as best as we can when presented with a specific set of facts. Students are welcome to contact an immigration attorney for specific legal advice.
If you Require Critical Immigration Emergency Assistance
If you are in the U.S. and experiencing a critical immigration emergency outside the International Students and Scholars Office business hours, call the OSU Police at 405-744-6523.
