Students Holding Non-U.S. Passports |
| |
Visa procedures and customs requirements are different for you. U.S.
permanent residents must check with the U.S. Immigration Service concerning
regulations for re-entry into the U.S. It is important to verify
procedures, especially if you might be outside the U.S. for more than one year,
to permit re-entry to the U.S. Please note that overseas communications
may be needed and this can be time consuming. Please plan ahead!
