Mandatory Immigration Orientation

Attendance at Immigration Orientation is Required!

Immigration Orientations are scheduled two times each month.  You will receive the date of your session during your required ISSS check-in.  You are required to attend an orientation session on J-1 immigration issues.  Until you have attended this session, your check-in process at the University of Iowa is not complete.

What to Bring to Orientation Check-in

  • Your passport
  • Your DS-2019
  • Form I-94 (the small white card you completed when you entered the United States)
  • A pen or pencil

You must be present for the entire session, so please be sure to arrive a few minutes before the scheduled start time.   If you arrive late you may be required to return for a later program.  Your host faculty member is invited to attend this session with you, and if you wish to bring someone to translate you are welcome to do so.
