iServices is the online portal used by departments and the international scholars they sponsor to request from the International Services and Engagement Office (ISEO) appropriate paperwork for their prospective visa classification. We will need specific information and documentation from you in order to issue you the DS-2019 for J-1 status, or to file your employment-based petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The information will be used by the ISEO to complete documents submitted to government agencies such as the Department of State (DOS) and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Incorrect information could negatively impact the application so please pay careful attention to all instructions on this website and in the online application itself!
