NAFSA IssueNet

NAFSA's IssueNet platform offers international educators two powerful tools to report trends from the field and obtain guidance and information from volunteer leaders on regulatory issues.

All international education professionals are welcome to "Report an Issue" to NAFSA on the emerging obstacles or challenges they are encountering in the field. NAFSA members can "Get Help" on individual education abroad visa cases by connecting with a committee of their peers who liaise with foreign government officials.
