    How international scholars get a U.S. visa

    Sep 12, 2016

    There are approximately 500 international scholars contributing their expertise to CU Anschutz and CU Denver. While these individuals come from different nations, backgrounds and disciplines, they all share two commonalities—the scholars are standouts in their fields, and they have worked through Director of International Students and Scholarship Services (ISSS) Michelle Larson-Krieg and her team to bring their talents to the campus community.

    Larson-krieg_Michelle-150x200“We’re interested in hiring the most qualified candidates for the positions we have,” said Larson-Krieg. “Our programs are world-class programs that attract world-class applicants. Those applicants are the ones we want to bring to CU Denver and CU Anschutz.”

    Larson-Krieg and her team are experts in immigration and assist international students, researchers, faculty and others in navigating what can often be a complicated system. Scholars from certain countries can wait up to 10 years to receive permanent residency if they are not categorized as first preference. The ISSS team helps strong candidates for positions at the university expedite the process of obtaining a visa so that they can begin contributing to campus scholarly activities.

    “We try to provide a pathway that makes joining the campus community as seamless as possible,” Larson-Krieg said. “We are helping the institution to hire the people they need, while enabling these scholars to reach their aspirations and goals.”

    Larson-Krieg and her team will be processing more than 300 applications this fall for international scholars and students interested in coming to CU Denver and CU Anschutz. Below are just a few of the extraordinary international scholars that have joined the CU Denver and CU Anschutz faculty and staff.
