As of Friday, March 20, the ISO will operate virtually (no staff physically in the office) until further notice in line with MIT’s COVID-19 response.

All ISO Services will continue in a remote format and include: 

• Students can speak with their ISO Advisor by email, phone, or by scheduling a WebEx / Zoom appointment (request via email).
• ISO will continue to process visa documents and letter requests submitted through iMIT. Students will receive an email once their document is generated and can be mailed directly to the student.
• There will be no ISO events, including Employment Information Sessions, offered for the foreseeable future. The F-1 Employment Information Session presentation slides are available by link on the ISO “Employment” webpage.
• Staff are receiving a large volume of emails. If you do not receive a response to your inquiry within 5 business days, please call the ISO (617-253-3795) to speak with an ISO Staff member or have a message forwarded to your ISO Advisor.
