About ISO

The International Student Office (ISO) provides immigration advising to nearly 1,000 non-immigrant students in F-1 visa status.

The ISO also issues U.S. Department of State Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1 visa) status (Form DS-2019). Departmental chairs or college deans who wish to invite non-tenure track international exchange visitors to DePaul, for purposes of teaching, academic collaboration, and/or research, may request issuance of Form DS-2019 from the ISO.

Non-immigrant students in need of assistance with matters related to maintenance of non-immigrant status, employment authorization requests, travel and re-entry into the U.S. from abroad, and lawful transfer into DePaul University from another U.S. educational institution, should contact the ISO at 312.362.8376 after visiting the ISO website, at http://studentaffairs.depaul.edu/iso/

The ISO is responsible for University compliance with the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) reporting requirements. This is necessary in order to maintain the University's legal authority to admit and enroll non-immigrant students and to invite international exchange visitors.
