The Immigration Check-In process is completely online using an e-form group. You can start the e-form group at any time, even before you arrive in the US. You won't be able to complete the group fully until you've arrived in the U.S.
All new students with an F-1 or J-1 visa, including transfer students, must complete the Immigration Check-In. (Some returning PSU students may have to complete the check-in if you have been told to do so by an international student advisor.) If you are in the U.S. on a different status (H-4, B-1, B-2, etc.), you do not need to complete the Immigration Check-In.
Let's begin!
To complete this e-form you will need to scan and upload the following documents (please save files in PDF or JPEG format and make sure they are clear and readable. Scan documents in color, if possible):
- Passport photo page
- F-1 or J-1 visa (current)
- I-94 (print online from https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov)
