Appointments
Need assistance with more in-depth or personal immigration advice? Appointments with advisors will remain by phone or Zoom meeting until further notice. Due to staff transitions and summer schedules, we will have a general appointment schedule from July 6 to September 3 where you will be assigned to an OIS advisor. To schedule an appointment with an advisor, please click here and complete the requested details on the calendar appointment slot.
Please remember that appointments should only be used for more complex inquiries that may take 15-20 minutes to discuss. If you have a quick 5-10 minute question, please utilize our virtual drop-in hours. For questions on applying for OPT, please use OPT Q&As which are offered weekly on Tuesdays at 1PM and Thursdays at 10AM. More information about OPT Q&A can be found on our OPT page.
