Immigration Attorney Visit:  Immigration attorney Arthur Serratelli will be visiting UAF on Monday, September 30 and October 1.  He is scheduled to speak  on Monday at  4:00 p.m. in the Murie Auditorium on immigraiton options after student status including the H-1B status as well as other possibilities, job search tips and the green card process.  You may also schedule an appointment with him if you have specific questions or concerns.  Email Carol Holz if you wish to schedule a time.

Summer Travel:
If you are traveling outside the U.S. over the summer, remember to have your I-20 or DS-2019 signed.  If you are in H-1B status, remember to pick up your I-797 Approval Notice.

We often get questions from UAF departments and prospective students about enrolling in classes while in B-1 or B-2 status.  Regulations specifically prohibit this, as outlined by guidance from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.  This information can also be found in our information for UAF Departments.

For International Students:  Are friends or family planning to visit you this semester or attend your graduation?  If so, we can help you (and them) by providing an invitation letter, to be used in acquiring their B-2 (visitor) visas.  Simply fill out the Letter of Invitation Request Form, and turn it into International Programs & Initiatives.  This form can also be found in the Forms and Documents section of our website. 

Please note that due to limited personnel resources, we can only issue two letters per student, per event.  A letter from UAF International Programs & Initiatives is NOT necessary for a successful B-2 invitation.  Your personal letter of invitation is most important.
