Nonresident Information

HR, through the nonresident alien (NRA) tax office, is responsible for analyzing tax implications for payments made to individuals who indicate they are not U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens, ensuring the university is in compliance with nonresident alien tax withholding regulations.

Visas

A foreign national coming to the university must enter under the correct visa if she or he is to be paid legally.

• A student coming to the U.S. requires an F-1 or J-1 student visa and must complete the International Students and Scholars processes.
• A faculty member, post-doctoral fellow, researcher or person employed in another academic capacity requires a J-1 professor, research scholar, short-term scholar or an H-1B visa and must complete the International Students and Scholars processes.

Consult with an NRA Coordinator before the foreign national enters the country to ensure the visa will allow for university payment. To ensure the proper documents for the visa status required you should make arrangements to get a Visa.
