How to send us news

Did you travel during J-term? Please bring in your travel documents to OISS!

OISS has noticed that several students were issued travel documents containing mistakes and we would like to ask you to bring in the following documents to OISS when you return from traveling outside of the United States:
  • I-94 card
  • Stamped I-20 or DS-2019
  • New passport
  • New visa

If any of these travel documents contain mistakes (for example: wrong visa type listed on I-94) this might cause delays on your application for social security card, driver license or immigration benefits.

By checking on these documents once you return from your travel(s) abroad, we can assist you in taking the necessary steps to correcting these mistakes.
