The staff of the International Student Services Office (ISSO) can advise you about F-1 or J-1 regulations and proper compliance procedures. To maintain in good standing with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it is important that you contact the ISSO before you make any changes which may jeopardize your status to remain within the U.S; i.e., switching your degree program, changing marital status or sponsors, transferring schools, securing employment, traveling outside the U.S., etc.
It is important that you schedule an appointment as situations often vary, so it is advisable that you contact the ISSO or an immigration attorney on all matters that might affect your F-1 or J-1status. Alliant’s ISSO can be emailed at isso@tareasgratis.com.
