The app that keeps international students
in status

1.1 million F-1 students. Thousands lose status every year due to missed SEVIS deadlines, confusing OPT timelines, and poor DSO communication. ISSA changes that.

The Problem

The problem is real and urgent

International students are navigating the most complex visa system in the world — with zero purpose-built tools.

1.1M+

F-1 students in the US

Over a million international students navigate F-1 rules, SEVIS deadlines, and OPT timelines every single year — largely alone, with no dedicated software.

Status lost

SEVIS violations = immediate consequences

A single missed SEVIS reporting deadline, unauthorized work day, or lapsed I-20 can result in loss of F-1 status, inability to re-enter the US, and forced departure.

Spreadsheets

Most students track deadlines manually

Students manage OPT timelines, SEVIS IDs, I-20 dates, and school applications in Excel, Google Sheets, and iCal. No single tool exists for their unique compliance needs.

The Solution

Meet ISSA — the Student Command Center

One intelligent app that tracks SEVIS compliance, generates AI guidance, and keeps students from falling through the cracks.

ISSA AI Advisor

Can I do freelance work on my F-1 visa?

Yes, please explain CPT
