Email Advising
If you cannot find an answer on our website, please send an email from your ASU email account. One of our immigration advisors will respond to your email in as little as 48 business hours for most inquiries.
Keep in mind that several of our processes, such as applying for employment authorization, are cyclical and may require additional time during peak season.
We ask that you wait for at least 2 business days for a response to your email from our office before following up.
If your question is too complicated to answer via email, you may be asked to schedule a follow-up appointment.
