OISS Connect Requests

The 'Requests' tab section provides several options for common requests, such as obtaining a DS-2019 for your dependents.

If a request type is not listed here, please contact your designated OISS Adviser for instructions.

Once your record is in Initial or Active status, do not update any information directly in the 'Exchange Visitor' tab section. Use this section to make any updates.
