Legal Advice

IIE-SRF fellows may have questions related to a range of legal issues. Visa and residency status questions often arise in preparation for continued academic work in the host country or another (third) country. IIE-SRF strongly advises seeking legal assistance for all matters that are not supported through a university’s standard visa services. IIE-SRF has the great fortune of working with well-respected law firms and legal professionals who may be able to help.

Please reach out to your IIE-SRF contact so that we may direct you to our partners for advice and counsel.

We are especially grateful to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and to Willkie Farr & Gallagher for their generous support for the program and many IIE-SRF fellows.
