Contact Compliance Specialist Doris Robinson with the following information:

• Prospective guest’s current physical location:
  • If they are already in the U.S., ISSS will request additional documentation;
  • If they are currently outside the U.S., will they be traveling to the U.S. primarily for the invited activity at USC, or primarily for another purpose?
• Prospective guest’s country of citizenship and country issuing passport; and
• Expected dates and purpose of the invited activity at USC.

Prepare a formal invitation letter for the guest on USC letterhead using this template.

NOTE: The Form I-94 admission record (or equivalent) will be available only after the guest’s arrival in the U.S.

Send scans of each guest’s Form I-94 admission record and relevant passport pages (biographic data, U.S. visa page and entry stamp, if any) to OIS Compliance Specialist Doris Campbell. Additional documents will be requested based on guest’s U.S. immigration status.
