Beginning on Monday, August 2, 2004, an immigration advisor will be
available to answer phone calls or immigration questions on a first-come,

for the other periods, students will always have the option of obtaining
information from the OIE website (www.uta.edu/oie), obtaining printed

Please Note: Many immigration requests and questions do not need to be
handled by an advisor, such as: Requests for Expense Letters, Travel
Signatures, Invitation Letters, Social Security Letters, Concurrent
Enrollment, Payment Request Forms and Human Resources Letters, Enrollment
Verification Letters, and general questions related to employment or
immigration procedures.
Picking Up and Dropping Off Forms and Applications. An advisor is not needed
if the student is merely coming to pick up documents or turning in
applications for Transfer, Waivers, Extensions, Change of Status,

application will contact you and/or your advisor directly if needed before
the application is processed.
All requests will take a minimum of 3 business days. Please plan

or phone when your documents are ready.
