The role of the OISS

The Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) is the sole NYU office charged with handling immigration matters for all foreign students at NYU. In this time of increasing scrutiny and monitoring by the U.S. government of all visitors to the United States, it is crucial that you comply with every regulation governing your stay. The OISS is your resource on all matters pertaining to your immigration status. The Department of Homeland Security has a computerized tracking system in place to monitor the activities of all foreign students. NYU is required by law to provide detailed information about students. It is imperative that you use the many services of the OISS to make sure you are informed of and fully understand all immigration regulations.

What can the Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) do for you?

  • Provide vital immigration advice and guidance throughout your studies at NYU, including employment, travel, and maintenance of F-1 or J-1 student status in the United States.
  • Help you get to know NYU through extended, comprehensive orientation programs.
  • Introduce you to U.S. culture through a series of programs and events.
  • Assist your spouse and children with their adjustment through the OISS spouse/partner program.
  • Keep you up to date on important legal information and great OISS social programs through the Dateline OISS, an electronic newsletter sent to your NYU e-mail address.
  • Provide a relaxing way to meet other international students through a variety of programs.
