1. Leadership Volunteers Needed - Fall 2011 International Student Orientation
Are you interested in helping new international students during Orientation and adding Leadership and U.S. Culture Training experience to your resume? Then, sign up to be a Leadership Volunteer!
Leadership Volunteers are a select group of Binghamton University students, who join ISSS staff to welcome new international students during Fall International Student Orientation. Leadership Volunteer recruitment is now underway.
Leadership Volunteers engage in a 5-day training program to help prepare them for their role during Orientation. The training program is organized by the 5 goals of the Orientation program:
The Training Program includes activities that give all Leadership Volunteers the opportunity to:
During Orientation, Leadership Volunteers greet new international students at Check-In, welcome them during the Introductory Meeting, lead small group discussions, accompany them to all meals, provide reassurance and essential information, and most importantly contribute to a warm and sincere presence during the new international student's first few days on campus. Many new students tell the ISSS how important the Leadership Volunteers were to their initial experience at Binghamton University. Many Leadership Volunteers tell the ISSS how valuable the training was to their own professional and personal development.
Leadership Volunteer Training will take place Monday, August 15 to Friday, August 19, 2011. International Student Orientation starts Monday, August 22 and ends on Wednesday, August 24, 2011.
If you are interested in becoming a Leadership Volunteer, please fill out the form at this link: http://saffairs.binghamton.edu/isss/webforms/LV/ Questions? Contact Associate Director Karen Keefe-Guzikowski at kkeefe@binghamton.edu
2. Pre-Registration Academic Advising Sessions for Harpur College Undergraduates to be Held on Tuesday, April 26 and Thursday, April 28
Are you an undergraduate student in Harpur College? Do you have questions about planning your Fall 2011 course schedule? Wondering what courses you need to take to stay on track? You are invited to meet with academic advisors and plan your Fall schedule at the Harpur College Academic Advising Meetings, Tuesday April 26 from 6:30pm to 8:00pm in the Bingham Hall Great Room (Newing College) and Thursday, April 28 from 5:00pm to 6:30pm in College in the Woods (CIW) Commons.
3. Do You Need to Extend Your I-20 or DS-2019?
Students whose I-20 or DS-2019 will expire in May, but who will continue at Binghamton for Summer 2011 and/or Fall 2011 are reminded that they must complete the required paperwork for an extension before their I-20 or DS-2019 expires! A student whose I-20 ends in May, but who continues to take classes during the 2011 summer session will be out of status, with very serious immigration ramifications unless they apply for an extension of stay in a timely manner. All students with I-20s or DS-2019s with ending dates of May or Summer 2011 were recently sent an e-mail message regarding extension procedures. Do not let the deadline pass!
Information on extension procedures is
available in the ISSS, and also at these links:

5. U.S. Immigration Requirements If You Are Leaving Binghamton Permanently
ISSS staff are often asked what the immigration requirements are if a student will no longer be continuing at Binghamton, either because the student is returning to his/her home country, or is beginning Practical Training or Academic Training, or because the student is going to begin study at a new school.
Regardless of your plans, retain your old I-20s (or DS-2019s)! These forms represent your immigration history in the U.S. and should be kept in a safe place as you would any important document. In addition, you must complete a departure form, available on the ISSS website at
The immigration regulatory process for transferring your F-1 status from Binghamton to a new U.S. school requires you to provide proof of admission and complete a SEVIS Release Form with the ISSS so that your federal SEVIS record can be transferred to your new school. The SEVIS Release Form may be obtained in the ISSS or downloaded at: http://www2.binghamton.edu/isss/essential-forms/SEVISRelse.pdf
Also, follow your new school's instructions for obtaining your I-20, and for reporting to that school in a timely fashion.
Students who will be ending their studies in May but have no plans to apply for practical training (F-1), academic training (J-1) or continue at a new school or in a new field or level of study, or seek a change of non-immigrant status must depart the United States within sixty days of completion of their academic program if they are in F-1 status, or within thirty days if they are in J-1 status. The ISSS departure form must also be completed at: http://saffairs.binghamton.edu/isss/webforms/DepartureForm/
6. Attention: Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants on the State Payroll and Other Students Who Work On-Campus
Any graduate assistants or teaching assistants who are completing their studies this semester are reminded that it is critical that they provide the State Payroll Office (2nd floor Couper Administration Building) or the Research Foundation Payroll Office (ITC Building) with a permanent home address for the remainder of 2011 to insure that all W-2 forms for income received in 2011 can be mailed to the correct address next January 2012.In addition, any hourly student workers on the State Payroll or other campus payrolls (such as Sodexho Dining Services) who are completing their studies this semester are also reminded to provide the Payroll Office (2nd floor Couper Administration Building), if you are on the New York State payroll, or the payroll office of any other campus employer with an address for the remainder of 2011, to insure that all W-2 forms for income received in 2011 can be mailed to the correct address next January.
7. Are You Male, from the Republic of Korea, and Planning to Enter Military Service?
Many students who are from the Republic of Korea and male make plans to enter the military service for their required obligation some time during their years at Binghamton. If you are entering the Korean military this summer or fall, and will be pausing your studies while you are serving, please read the important article at:http://www2.binghamton.edu/isss/publications/korean.html
8. Latest Information on H-1B Visa Processing
The most recent H-1B update was published less than two weeks ago, on Friday, April 15, 2011.
USCIS reports that approximately 7,000 H-1B cap-subject petitions and approximately 5,100 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
It is interesting to compare these numbers with those of last year. On April 15, 2010, USCIS has received approximately 13,600 H-1B cap-subject petitions and approximately 5,800 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption. Thus, cap subject petitions are down 57% from almost this time a year ago, and advanced degree petitions are down by 12%.USCIS will provide regular updates on the processing of FY2012 H-1B petitions. The updates can be found on the USCIS’ Web site at www.uscis.gov/h-1b_count
9. Planning to Travel Outside the United States With a Child?
If you have a child (or children) with you in the United States, and plan to travel abroad with them this Spring or Summer, we recommend that you read an important article on the ISSS web site about travel with children. The article specifically addresses issues when only one parent is traveling with the children. Visit: http://www2.binghamton.edu/isss/travel/parntchild.html

The fiscal year starts October 1, 2011. So, it is on April 1 that all “cap-subject” H-1B petitions with start dates of October 1, 2011 will begin to be processed by USCIS.
The April 1 date is watched closely each year, because the available number of H-1B visas is always used before the year ends. For full details, please refer to the portal links below, which are from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website.
