The Rutgers Global International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) attends to the specialized
needs of Rutger Biomedical and Health Sciences international students
and scholars and their dependents, including those in the Rutgers School of Public Health. These services include

regulations and procedures and is the university's liaison to the
Departments of State and Homeland Security. Advising services are
provided to departments seeking to hire or enroll foreign nationals
under the F-1, J-1, H-1B, or 0-1 visa classifications as appropriate.
Services provided include: information workshops; orientation
programs for new students and scholars; preparation, issuance, and/or
filling of initial petitions; extension and transfer of immigration-related forms; preparation of dependent forms; status monitoring;
insurance and other regulatory compliance; regular interaction with U.S.
