  3. Upload I-94 documentation into iStart. If you were issued a paper I-94 by Customs and Border Protection, upload copies of the front and back of the paper I-94. If you have an electronic I-94 record, you will use your biographical and arrival information to access and print their electronic I-94 from the Customs and Border Protection I-94 Admission Retrieval website. Print the record and upload it to iStart.
  • Read and Electronically “Sign” the student compliance form. A copy of the form will be emailed to you after you sign. The F-1 compliance form is also available on OIE’s website here.  The J-1 compliance form can be found here.
