Each student must have at all times a valid passport and I-94. Check with ISDP six months before your passport or I-94 expires. Spouses who are on F-2 visas are not allowed to work on or off campus. All international students must obtain a social security card in order to be able to work. It is a good idea for all students to apply for a social security card when arriving in the United States.
Contact ISDP for further information.
In order to re-enter the U.S., it is also necessary to have a valid visa stamped in the passport. The only exceptions are for brief visits to Canada, Mexico or Caribbean countries. Each international student must have on file in the ISDP office a current local address and telephone number. A violation could lead to dismissal or suspension from the University. Many policies of the American educational system are different from those in other countries, and international students must be aware of these differences.
