OIA Cares for You

Dear International Student, Scholar and Employee,

We understand that U.S. immigration laws and policies are changing rapidly, and we recognize the uncertainty and stress this may be causing for you and your family. Please know that you are not alone. The Office of International Affairs (OIA) is here to support you, and we genuinely care about how these changes may affect your personal and professional lives.

Although the Office of Legal Affairs represents UT Southwestern Medical Center, they are unable to provide legal advice to students, trainees, or employees regarding personal immigration matters. However, the State Bar of Texas offers a lawyer referral service that can connect you with an attorney experienced in immigration issues. This service includes a 30-minute consultation for $20. Here is the link to that service:  The State Bar of Texas

We also want to remind you that wellness and counseling resources are available to support your emotional well-being during this challenging time. We have included a link to these resources for your awareness and encourage you to use them as needed: wellness and counseling support resources.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Office of International Affairs if we can help you or support you during these times.

Warm regards,

The Office of International Affairs.
