Submit Case Inquiries to IssueNet
This liaison assistance is now provided by NAFSA's Regulatory Ombuds,
and international student and scholar advisers now have a new, more
convenient way to contact them! The new system is better than phone calls
and e-mails. You can enter your cases online on a Web site that allows you
to track progress with your Regulatory Ombud. You will receive an e-mail
alert when new information is posted and can check the summaries for all
of your cases at your convenience.

New F-1 Transfer Guidelines
ICE has updated their F-1 Transfer FAQs. Apparently, the ICE FAQs
overrides 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(f)(8)(i) which states “an F-1 student not
pursuing a full course of study at the school he or she was last
authorized to attend is ineligible for school transfer.” This latest FAQ
allows schools to transfer terminated records opposed to FAQs published a
couple of months ago. There are some specific criteria and communication
between schools that must take place before terminated records are
transferred. Please see the ICE link for further information. [http://www.ice.gov/sevis/f_1_transfers.htm]
