The Kelley School of Business at Indiana University hosts students from a wide range of countries including China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.
Our international students are an impressive group who have achieved excellence and created value in their academic careers. They add merit to the Kelley School and are an integral part of our school's cultural diversity.
Our international students offer global perspectives, multicultural experiences, and unique skills to benefit your organization. At Graduate Career Services, we are eager to help recruiters and international students navigate the hiring process.
International students enrolled in the Kelley School of Business generally hold an F-1 visa or J-1 visa.
Students with an F-1 status are eligible for Curricular Practical Training work authorization.
Students should work with the IU Office of International Services prior to employment.
As of March 1, 2003, the functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) were officially transferred to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
In many cases, an international student may continue to be employed after the conclusion of the Optional Practical Training or the Academic Training period provided that a change to another visa type is approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The most common of these is an H-1B visa. The Immigration Bridge Program® can help employers with the full-time international hiring process.
The Immigration Bridge Program® will help you navigate the complex H-1B visa process—so you can make excellent international hires and our international students can excel in great jobs.
Immigration Bridge is a proactive partnership between the Kelley School of Business, the IU Office of International Services, and a top immigration law firm, Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP, to assist international students and recruiters with immigration matters related to employer sponsorship. Students—not the recruiting companies—initiate the Immigration Bridge Program® application. While this program does not guarantee a visa sponsorship, visa, or employment, it does improve the situation for international students being recruited both on and off campus.
