Welcome to the Immigration and Visa Services Section of Human Resources Management
The goal of the Immigration and Visa Services Section is to facilitate UAlbany's faculty and foreign national scholar's ability to concentrate on their substantive interest in teaching, research, and service, by ensuring compliance with all federal laws, rules, and regulations permitting the employment of foreign nationals. Also, to provide strategic, consultative, and administrative support to all academic/administrative units as well as individual faculty members directly or indirectly involved in collaborating with, hiring, or sponsorship of international scholars.
Please note that
effective
January 3, 2006, the
University Counsel’s Office has assumed responsibility
for assisting current and prospective State-funded faculty
and professional staff in preparing the necessary Department
of Labor and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
documents to seek H-1B1 (Specialty Occupation) or
Permanent Resident status on the basis of employment.
