If you are a GW international student, scholar, or employee and have legal questions, please read below. Many questions or issues relating to your status as a GW international student or employee can be resolved by the ISO. However, for personal legal matters or complex cases, you may need to obtain assistance through a qualified attorney or specialist.
There are a variety of resources in the D.C. area that are able to provide legal immigration advice. Please note that the listings below do not constitute an endorsement by GW.
