The Office of Immigration Services (OIS) provides immigration services and programming support to F-1 international students at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences. OIS provides advice on issues related to student visas and US immigration regulations, as well as activities and programs to help students get involved in the international, OUHSC, and local communities.
OIS provides assistance for compliance with SEVIS, the Homeland Security Student Reporting System. This system electronically processes immigration applications, i.e., admission, departure/re-entry to the United States, extension of stay, transfer to other institutions, change of visa status, application for optional practical training pre- and post-practical, letters of certification for foreign exchange, etc. Requests for services should be made as early as possible in case there are system delays.
International applicants must contact Personnel Services at (405) 271-2189 for processing J-1 or H-1 visas. Additional information can be found at: http://admissions.ouhsc.edu/CurrentStudents/InternationalStudentsStudyAbroad.aspx
