Off-Campus Work Permission Workshop
All CSI F-1 students
who have maintained their F-1 status and who started
at CSI by the Fall, 2002 or earlier are eligible
to apply for permission to accept off-campus work
permission based on the increased CUNY tuition
increase. In order to accommodate the hundreds
of students eligible for this, the Center for
International Service will be conducting MANDATORY
workshops for those students wishing to apply
for work permission off-campus. Please bring your
passport, I-94 card, copies of all I-20 forms
to the workshop.
