UNR OISS provides general advice/guidance. However, any advice/guidance provided by our office, as well as the information on our webpage, should not be construed as legal advice. UNR OISS staff will provide regulatory and practice information as it stands at the time of the consult. Due to the fluid nature of governmental interpretation, individuals must understand that government agencies may change their interpretation of established immigration laws/regulations and eligibility requirements for benefits at any time. We strongly suggest consulting with an attorney for legal advice.
