Good Afternoon Everyone,
Now that we have all our 1098-Ts out of the way for this year, students are
enrolled and paid for the semester, and we have nothing else to do (RIGHT!),
I would like to get some reactions to the proposed CIPRIS fee.
You must have heard/read about the proposed $95 which the institutions will
be required to collect from internationals of certain visa types at certain
stated junctures in their educational careers - enter an institution, enter
a new program, transfer to another institution, etc. We would then be
responsible for forwarding payment for these people to the INS. Failure on
the student's part to pay results in awful consequences, as does failure on
the institution's part to collect and remit. There are several onerous
issues on this one....(not to mention the one that says after approval it
would be retroactive to August, 1999!)
Thought I would ask you how your institutions are responding to this
proposed fee - writing campaigns, etc. Has anyone given any thought to the
logistics, costs involved?
Any and all feedback welcome with many thanks,
Kim
