IMMIGRATION RELATED EXECUTIVE ORDERS
- February 5th, 2025
- in Capstone International Services
As you may know, many executive orders have been issued over the past several weeks. Thus far, none seem to have an immediate impact on those who hold F or J visa status. Nevertheless, the International Student & Scholar Services Office (ISSS) is closely monitoring information from relevant agencies and sources.
You are also encouraged to independently stay abreast of developments that may impact you based on your specific situation. As you do this, however, please remember that social media and news outlets may report incorrect information. One resource available to the public is NAFSA: Association of International Educators (https://www.nafsa.org/current-us-administration).
ISSS is committed to staying up-to-date so that we can serve as a resource for you. We encourage you to bookmark and regularly visit our website (https://international.ua.edu/isss/). Further, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
In addition to the foregoing, ISSS is always available to assist and connect you with resources if you face challenges or need support in your daily life — whether it is related to your studies, your personal life, or the community at large. Examples of other offices at UA who are also here to help you be successful on campus, include the following:
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP): https://hr.ua.edu/wellness-work-life/employee-assistance-program/
