Department Training Series
ISSS Faculty and Scholar Advising Team developed a new series of micro-training videos for departments. The micro-training videos and ISSS workshops can help visa coordinators learn and retain specific information quickly, one step at a time. It will be helpful to those new to immigration as well as those with experience, as it will provide a detailed review of the e-forms and application process.
The H-1B training videos cover the overview of prevailing wage and actual wage determination and step-by-step instructions for iTerp request e-forms.
This workshop video covers the overview of the J-1 Exchange Visitor program, including the various categories of the program, eligibility requirements, and detailed review of the iTerp application e-forms.
This workshop video shares Workday processing tips for international hire. We will review the new Workday process for Rehire and Change Job with Workday demonstration. (Please check the Table of Contents if you would like to search for certain topics of your interest.)
