The ISE department navigates immigration matters with International Support Services. The process is complex and includes many steps. Our team is here to help - please email isefinance@vt.edu to begin the process.
Step 1: Email isefinance@vt.edu with vistor name and email address. Our team will take the lead on starting the process.
Step 2: The finance team will send an email to the visitor outlining the process and items needed in full detail
Note: please do not contact Immigration Support Services and let our team navigate the process on your behalf.
