UMass VIP (Visa Information Portal) is ISSS’ immigration case management system. It allows departments to submit requests, make updates, and view their J-1 scholars and H-1B employees.
Before you request UMass VIP access, designate a person(s) within your department who will submit all the J-1 scholars and H-1B employees requests and be the point person for ISSS to contact regarding the requests. In most cases, this will be an administrative staff member and not the sponsoring faculty member.
The designated person(s) in your department will need to request access if they do not already have access. Log in with your UMass credentials. You will receive an email once your request has been approved in 2-3 business days.
Please refer to this guide for requesting access to the UMass VIP system for instructions.
If you already have access to UMass VIP, please login, go to Departmental Services, and add a new person to start a request then pick the appropriate Task.
Please consult ISSS if you have any questions.
