Immigration Documents

F-1/J-1 students should provide ISSS with their most updated immigration documents for both themselves as well as any F-2/J-2 dependents.

The current immigration documents ISSS has on file for you can be found in the Personal & Program tab of your ISSS Portal account.

To update your immigration documents, please log in to the ISSS Portal and upload your new documents in the corresponding upload field on your Personal and Program tab (Passport, Visa, and I-94). If you have F-2/J-2 dependents, there will be fields corresponding to each dependent where you can upload their doucments, as well as a toggle to indicate whether they have arrived in the U.S.

Common reasons for updating your immigration documents include:

  • You have renewed your passport
  • You have renewed your visa
  • You have traveled and re-entered the U.S. (new I-94 issued upon each arrival)
  • Your F-2/J-2 dependents have arrived in the U.S.

Keep your Passport Valid

You should keep your passport valid while you are studying in the U.S. Make sure you know the expiration date and begin the renewal process at least 6 months before it expires. Contact the embassy or consulate of your home country in the U.S. for information on passport renewal processes.

Make sure you upload a copy of your renewed passport to the Personal & Program tab in the ISSS Portal.
