The University of Rhode Island will provide you with information and support to make the visa process clear and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to study at the University of Rhode Island, generally, must first obtain a U.S. visa. All full time, degree-seeking international students are eligible for an F-1 or J-1 visa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students from Canada or Bermuda do not need to get a visa stamp in their passports. However, these students must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee, no later than three days prior to their departure and have a printed copy of their payment receipt available for the port of entry officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The University will issue the document you need for your visa interview at the United States embassy or consulate in your country.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Students who already hold F-1 or J-1 status may transfer their SEVIS database record from their current sponsoring institution to URI.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
Internship programs are offered to graduate students involved in pre-doctoral research and undergraduate students who have a degree requirement for practical field experience. Internship programs provide unique opportunities for interns to gain practical experience on the process of conducting research in their academic field. Learn more about J-1 student interns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n SEVIS is a U.S. government database that allows schools and federal immigration agencies to exchange data on the status of international students. Information is transmitted electronically throughout an F-1 or J-1 student\u2019s academic career in the U.S. The SEVIS program is funded in part by your SEVIS fee<\/a> to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. <\/p>\n It is important that you report all changes in registration, address, academic program, and degree completion to the Office of International Student and Scholars in order to maintain your legal visa status.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n \n Office of International Students and Scholars International Center, 3rd FL<\/strong> Follow us on social media! <\/p><\/div><\/section><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview The University of Rhode Island will provide you with information and support to make the visa process clear and easy.
