Visa and Immigration Information

As part of our services to existing and prospective students, City University of Michigan Office of Student Affairs and Admissions assists with the visa and immigration process. If you are a foreign national or a student studying abroad, you will likely require a visa to enter the United States. The following section contains information regarding the F1 visa category, which is the most prevalent for overseas students, as well as other visa categories. CMICH is responsible for providing and controlling student visas for overseas students, and the process of securing a visa to study or work in the United States can be daunting. In order to guarantee that our students have access to reliable information when applying for a student or work visa, we've established the International Student Visa and Immigration Center.
