UNO-OISS News Issue #5—January/February 2011 Welcome to all of the international students who are new for the Spring 2011 semester! And welcome back to all of the continuing international students! We wish you all a successful semester! Did You Travel Abroad During Intersession?— If you obtained a new visa or passport while you were away, please come to OISS with your passport and visa documents so we can make copies for your files. Also, please remember to make copies for your own records of your passport, visa, and I-94 card each time you are issued a new one and keep them in a safe place. Income Tax Information—International students who work are not exempt from filing income tax forms – even if the U.S. has a tax treaty with the country of origin.
