We are always pleased when we welcome a new international scholar to campus and help them to settle into their new home,\u00a0but our involvement really continues well beyond the arrival and on-boarding phase. We need to partner with both the department and the scholar throughout the entire BU employment \/ activity to insure compliance with both immigration and employment regulations.<\/p>\n
We provide information to all scholars about what is expected of them to maintain their immigration status<\/a>, but as department administrators, there are things you can do to help.\u00a0 While the ISSO does send courtesy reminders and communications out on a regular basis, it is ultimately the scholar\u2019s and department\u2019s responsibility to insure regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n As an administrator, you can help to insure a scholar is maintaining their immigration status by notifying the ISSO in advance of any employment or activity changes<\/a> and in situations where you may be extending a scholars appointment at BU<\/a>.\u00a0 If your scholar will be changing to another immigration status, it may be helpful for you to review our process overview and timelines<\/a> and required forms<\/a> for the requested status.\u00a0 We also have guidance related to BU Sponsorship of Employment-Based U.S. Permanent Residence (Green Card)<\/a>\u00a0as well as instructions for notifying the ISSO when scholars will be ending their employment or activity<\/a> at BU.<\/p>\n We recommend that you also review our helpful reminders and updates<\/a> from time to time as well as ISSO news to insure that you have the most recent updates and reminders from our office.\u00a0 As always, please contact us<\/a> with any questions regarding your current scholars.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are always pleased when we welcome a new international scholar to campus and help them to settle into their new home,\u00a0but our involvement really continues well beyond the arrival and on-boarding phase.
