Immigration

OIA's immigration specialists provide service regarding immigration matters to international students, researchers, and faculty, and assist academic departments with the hiring and retention of international personnel and faculty. International Students at UK are required to sign up for the OIA listserv (found on OIA homepage). This will enable you to stay informed about changes in immigration laws and/or other important news that governs your stay here. If you have moved, please take a moment to submit your new address on-line at web UK. Immigration law mandates this to be done within 10 days of your move. Below are important links for immigration:
