  "content": "[University at Buffalo (UB)](//www.buffalo.edu/)\nTo meet reporting requirements & be able to register for classes, complete your International Student Check-in early.\nAll F-1 and J-1 students starting a new program at UB, transferring to UB from another U.S. university or entering the U.S. with an initial I-20/DS-2019 are required to complete the International Student Check-in. There are several steps involved so we recommend you begin as soon as possible.\nYou cannot access your International Student Check-in until you have activated your UBIT account. If you're having trouble activating your account, visit [buffalo.edu/ubit/help](https://www.buffalo.edu/ubit/help) for assistance.\nISS prioritizes e-form requests based on timing of submission and order of processing priority for the office. Find a list of [e-form processing times](/international-student-services/immigration-visa/e-form-processing-times.html) for all ISS e-forms.\nWhen you arrive in the United States, it is important to have the right documents and know what to expect at the border.\nYou will need to carry the documents listed below with you. Do not pack them in your luggage because you will need to show them to the immigration inspector when you enter the U.S.\nFirst, after deplaning you will proceed to passport control.\nSecond, you will proceed to the baggage claim area and go through customs.\nNever make false statements to a border officer as the penalty for doing so is very severe.\nYou may enter the U.S. no more than 30 days before the start date listed on your I-20/DS-2019.\nClasses begin on Monday, August 25, 2025.\nWe know that things outside of your control, like travel problems and visa delays, can happen. If you will not be able to arrive in the U.S. by your program start date, please review the process for requesting a late arrival support letter.",
