The International Students and Scholars Office (ISS) provides immigration advising for J-1 students and scholars to help you manage your immigration status. We offer one-on-one appointments, walk-in advising, and live chat sessions with advisors.
Advising Services
The ISS Office has a J Visa Specialist with whom students and scholars are welcome to walk-in and meet with or schedule appointments. To schedule an appointment with our J Visa Specialist please contact iss@okstate.edu
Live Chat Function
The ISS Office does offer live chat for J Visa specific inquiries at the following times
MWF - 9am to 11am

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 can provide general immigration information, but we are not able to provide specific legal advice if 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.
