After U.S. Arrival

After arrival in the U.S., all F-1 and J-1 students must complete the required online immigration check-in in MyOISS. Instructions will be sent to your MSU email address.

• Immigration check-in can only be completed after you have arrived in the U.S.
• Immigration check-in is not required for F-2 or J-2 dependents.

After you submit your check-in, OISS will review your information and contact you if any additional information is needed.

Failure to complete immigration check-in may result in termination of your immigration status.

International Student Orientation:

After arriving in the U.S., you are also required to participate in in-person International Student Orientation.

Through the in-person orientation, you will:

• Receive arrival and transportation support.
• Meet your OISS advisor.
• Learn about campus and community resources.
• Connect with other new international students.

After you receive your immigration document, you will automatically begin receiving information about International Student Orientation at your MSU email address.
