US Immigration is a hot topic that impacts a large segment of the campus community.  During an era of uncertainty and ever changing policies and regulations, advising international students can be challenging but it has never been more imperative.

This presentation focuses on framing complex issues using an adaptation of transition theory to provide support to students facing stress regarding their immigration status and current immigration regulations. We will focus largely on F-1 and J-1 Visa categories but also discuss the implications for other visas.

Presenter: Denise Robb, M.A., Immigration Coordinator at University of South Alabama
