If you are a continuing International Student at Suffolk, you are probably well familiar with the Office of Immigration Advising and much of what you have to do in order to maintain your immigration status. However, it is important to consult the pages in this section of our Web Site for news and updates on the newest immigration laws, and to refresh your memory on existing requirements. The immigration regulations often change, and when that happens, it can affect your academic and employment plans, and mean an increase in the efforts you have to make in order to remain in legal F-1 or J-1 status. If you are unsure of anything, always contact our office, and no one else. We absolutely discourage relying on immigration advice from fellow students and friends who have not been formally trained on student immigration matters, no matter how well-intentioned they may be.
