Immigration Information

Page address: http://www.mnsu.edu/international/immigrationlaws/

Students in the United States are required by immigration law to follow certain regulations in order to maintain legal status in the United States. The International Center (IC) is responsible for advising international students on immigration law, regulations, and for processing various immigration documents. When coming to the IC for immigration matters, we suggest that you bring your passport, I-94 card, and your I-20 or DS-2019.

It is your responsibility to know, understand and comply with immigration regulations. Please read e-mails sent to the International Center Listserv carefully. If you are not on the listserve, please contact the IC to subscribe (staff update the list each semester - you should receive e-mails approximately once a week). If there is something you do not understand, contact the IC. Do not rely on your friends for information on immigration matters.

The IC website is organized separating regulations/procedures on on your F-1 or J-1 student status.  Below is information on additional visa types and immigration-related topics.
