F/J Advising Services Will Not Be Available on Fridays Through August 7

During the summer, F/J advising services will be available Monday-Thursday through August 7. ISSS will resume F/J advising services on Fridays beginning August 14.

In-Person Walk-ins Canceled Until Further Notice

Until further notice: ISSS staff will be working remotely and will not be able to provide walk-in appointments and document pick up. ISSS advisors and counselors are available to discuss any concerns international students or scholars have.

How you can contact ISSS:

• Phone: To make an appointment to talk to an ISSS staff member over the phone, please go to z.umn.edu/isssphone and fill out the phone request form. Our staff will then call you, and, when they do, you can request to change to a Google Hangout or Zoom meeting. Please do not also email ISSS after submitting the form as this will lead to a duplication of efforts and confusion.
• Email: Send an inquiry to isss@umn.edu
• F and J Visa Document pick up: Please complete the "Mail I-20/DS-2019" request in MyISSS, and your document will be sent to you. Please be aware that this form cannot be used to request a new document be issued.
• Employment-Based Visas (this does not include CPT/OPT): Departments and staff with questions about Employment-Based Visas should email issshvis@umn.edu, or contact their advisor/case manager directly by email.
