There are many work authorization types in which a foreign national can come to MCW to work or observe. The majority of MCW foreign nationals are hired in H1B or J1 visa status. The International Scholars office will work with you to determine the appropriate work authorization. 

Currently working in the U.S.? Visit our Careers page. A transfer of your work authorization status to MCW sponsorship (see FAQ) (PDF) may be required.

International student seeking F-1 status, please visit our School of Graduate Studies website for more information about attending school here at MCW.

If you are coming from outside the U.S. and need to apply for an entry visa to enter the U.S., please ensure that if you will be working at MCW, your department has submitted the necessary paperwork to the Immigration Consultant to initiate the processing of your case. You will not be able to apply for an entry visa for work authorization without proper documentation. If you will be applying for a visitor visa for observation, you can do that independently and should not need any documentation from MCW, other than a letter of invitation from the MCW department you will be visiting.

You can only apply for a social security number if you are authorized to work in the U.S. Please note: If you already have a social security number, you are not required to apply again. For those who do not already have a social security number and who are authorized to work in the U.S., you should wait at least 10 days after your arrival in the U.S. before going to the Social Security Office to apply. This is because it takes around 10 days for your arrival information to transfer from Customs to the Social Security Administration database.
