with an application that has been filed at one of the four
Service Centers (Nebraska, Vermont, Texas, and California).

Government liaison assistance from an Ombudsman can be requested by submitting a case query to IssueNet
NAFSA members can use their NAFSA login and password to access the site. Non-NAFSA members will also be able to utilize this service but must first create a login ID by following the instructions on the site. During initial use the requestor will be required to enter identifying information about his/herself, but this will not be required for subsequent uses. Since Ombudsmen can receive anywhere between 5-15 queries each week, please be sure to first take advantage of the immigration resources that are readily available through the NAFSA website, the NAFSA Adviser's Manual, or by checking the USCIS Online Case Status.
