The Division of the Biological Sciences (BSD) has certain structures and procedures in place not found in other units in the University. This results in a somewhat differently structured relationship between the BSD and OIA. This page is meant to provide administrators in the BSD information regarding H-1B (also TN, E-3) petitions for their international employees. Any questions regarding policies and procedures should be directed to the OIA Director. Inquiries regarding a particular case should be directed to our general e-mail address, international-affairs@uchicago.edu or to (773) 702-7752. The sender / caller will be directed to an adviser in the office.
