10 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11

Staffing
There were a number of signifi cant staff changes during
2010 - 2011. Gridt Find, our Offi ce Manager, resigned
in July 2011 to move to Italy with her family. Gridt was
an important part of the Bechtel I-Center family for a
number of years and we miss her. However, thanks to
the magic of Skype, we are able to follow her Italian
adventures, as well as ask her where particular fi les are
located!
We were extremely fortunate to welcome Wendy
Cardamone in August 2011 as Gridt’s replacement.
Wendy has had considerable experience at Stanford and
we are delighted she is now at Bechtel.
At the end of August 2011 our long serving colleague in
computer resources, Shirley Harris, retired. Shirley was
replaced by Vicky Billimoria. Vicky was replaced as SEVIS
Coordinator by Hannah Cho.
We also welcomed Elsa Gontrum as a temporary project
specialist, working on web review, clarifi cation of certain
immigration policies and, ultimately, to replace Junko
Pierry who was due to be on maternity leave in fall 2011.
One organizational change was that, in the summer of
2011, the Offi ce of International Visitors began reporting
to the new Offi ce of International Aff airs. International
Visitor services have been part of Bechtel I-Center since
its founding but the new offi ce is taking over broader
responsibilities for visiting delegations. We were sorry to
say goodbye to Pauline Larmaraud who now works in an
offi ce in the Inner Quad.
Accomplishments & Highlights of
10/11
In Fall 2010 there were 3601 international non-immigrant
students at Stanford. Please see our Statistics section
starting on page 43 for more complete information on
international student and scholar statistics.
In Fall 2010 Stanford ranked 28th in the U.S. for
enrollment of international students (including those
F-1 and J-1 students on post-graduation practical and
academic training). It is worth noting that none of
the schools ranked above Stanford had a total student
enrollment as “small” as Stanford’s. Statistics collected
by the Institute of International Education now include
those F-1 students on post-graduation practical training.
See page 58-59 of this Report to see the top 25 schools’
rankings.
Stanford ranked fourth in the country for the number
of J-1 and H-1 Visiting Scholars and Researchers during
2010-2011.
Both the absolute numbers of international students and
scholars at Stanford continues to increase and details of
these increases can be found in the statistical section at
the end of this report.
Beginning in September 2010 Bechtel I-Center was
provided with additional staffi ng resources to continue
the work of H-1 compliance and provision of immigration
services to students, scholars and departments.
Much of our technology eff ort during the year was
focused on the Peoplesoft Immigration Project. During
the year we began to use Peoplesoft for the processing of
H-1 requests. To facilitate this, we conducted signifi cant
outreach and training to departments.
CONTINUED ExCELLENT SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS
• During 2010-2011, 59 Stanford students were
awarded scholarships administered by, or advised
on, by the Overseas Resource Center. 5 of these
students fi nally decided not to accept their awards.
• Included in this number were 3 Rhodes, 2
Marshalls, 2 Gates, 1 Mitchell and 30 Fulbrights
(of the latter award 5 ultimately declined). This
continues a few years of steady progress.
11

• During the year we conducted more outreach and
in different forms. Cooperative information sessions
were held with Haas Center for Public Service, Dean
of the South Row, School of Engineering, Bing
Overseas Studies and the Career Development
Center. In addition, a specialized email outreach was
conducted to faculty in Science and Engineering.
• In order to better assess our services in this area
there was an evaluation of the fall 2010 process
which resulted in a poster presentation at the
annual Student Affairs Assessment Fair.
MAINTAINED FOCUS ON IMMIGRATION
COMPLIANCE ISSUES AND IMPROVED SERVICE
TO STUDENTS, SCHOLARS AND DEPARTMENTS
In addition to providing one-on-one immigration
advising and SEVIS tracking services to international
students and scholars, the student advising staff
welcomed close to 1100 new undergraduate and
graduate international students to campus, and
processed 1440 OPT/CPT applications.
In 2010-11, Stanford hosted 3601 international students,
2013 J-1 Scholars and Postdoctoral fellows, and 735
H-1 employees. Family members accompanied many of
these individuals.
The scholar advising staff produced 1806 DS-2019s
for new and continuing J scholars, processed 1111
arrival confirmations, submitted 347 H-1 petitions, 3
O-1 petitions and 9 permanent residency petitions.
Staff offered bi-monthly J visa orientation meetings to
incoming J scholars, and quarterly outreach and training
meetings to departments.
In 2010-11, the international scholar area introduced
Workflow to the community of H-1 users at Stanford.
Following numerous design and planning meetings,
Bechtel I-Center staff held several outreach sessions with
the departmental user community, to introduce the new
functionality and familiarize users with the operation of
the system.
The new employment visa workflow functionality
complements the existing exchange visitor environment
such that now all nonimmigrant visa classifications are
accessed through the Peoplesoft based system used
by most Stanford departments for other administrative
tasks.
With the addition of employment-based visas to the
Peoplesoft environment, and the move to Bechtel
I-Center of public access records last year, intended
compliance with federal regulations is close to ideal.
12 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11
Outreach to areas such as the H&S Faculty Affairs group,
Postdoc Affairs and attendance at standing committees
such as the H-1 Postdoc Review Board contributed
toward increased representation of Bechtel across
campus.
We processed 904 F and J SEVIS batches, responded
to 52,818 SEVIS alerts, and our front desk had 18,778
individual interactions with students, scholars,
departments and other visitors.
During the year Stanford was also re-certified for the F-1
Visa Program. This recertification was conducted by the
Department of Homeland Security.
GRADUATE STUDENT AND INTERNATIONAL
FROSH ORIENTATION
As in previous years, two separate orientation programs
were run for new undergraduate and graduate students.
The Undergraduate Program was extended this year to a
four day program, which complimented the Universitywide
New Student Orientation Week. Like previous years,
this year’s program included informational sessions,
“Breakfast at Bechtel,” discussion sections on “Inside the
Stanford Classroom,” a scavenger hunt, a shopping trip, a
barbecue, and the always popular beach trip!
As we have seen in past years, attendance of
international frosh parent events has been growing.
Both the Parents’ Welcome Reception and the Question
and Answer Session were very popular again this year.
Parents appreciated the opportunity to meet and
socialize with other parents as well as with Bechtel
I-Center staff.
The week-long Graduate Orientation, which lasted until
the start date of classes, was attended by over 1000
students and their family members. The Community
Committee for International Students (CCIS) volunteered
their services providing one-on-one advising to new
graduate students and family members.
In addition to 25 “Maintaining Your Legal Status”
sessions offered at Graduate Orientation, we organized
an additional 20 sessions and events that offered
informational and social opportunities. Many events
were very well attended, including nearly 100 students
who attended the “Culture of the U.S. Classroom” which
explained Stanford’s academic system and the Honor
Code. Like the previous year, and due to increased
demand and interest on insurance issues, we included
a session called “Medical Care- Insurance, Entrance
Medical Records, Required Inoculations.” This session
complimented the session “Staying Healthy at Stanford”
which focused on well- being and counseling services.

Students and their families were invited to a Welcome
Reception where they were welcomed by John Pearson,
Director of the Bechtel International Center. As always,
all enjoyed the great food and live music by Souls of Blue.
OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Staff participated in sessions and workshops at NAFSA
conferences and at the NAFSA National Conference.
Brian Groves served as a member of NAFSA’s Task Force
on the Real ID Act, and was a panel member of the J-1
Beginners workshop. Brian also began serving as the
Region XII Scholar Ombuds person. Junko Pierry became
a member of the NAFSA Trainer Corps and served as a
Panel member for the F-1 Beginners Workshop at the
national and regional conference. She also served on two
NAFSA Sub-Committees; Travel Subcommittee and the
Leadership Cultivation Subcommittee. Laleh Rongere
presented at NAFSA Region XII Northern District, served
as the J-1 Workshop Leader and presenter at NAFSA
Regional and presented at BA-PIER meetings. Diane Murk
presented at the Bay Area Lessons From Abroad Returnee
Conference. John Pearson served as Chair of the the
Awards Sub-Committee for the Association. Shalini
Bhutani served on NAFSA’s Ethics Guidelines Task Force
and took over as Chair Designate.
During the winter of 2011 Bechtel I-Center, in
cooperation with the Offi ce of the Controller, purchased
and off ered a federal income tax software, CINTAX, for
international students and scholars to use without cost.
Over 2,000 students and scholars used this software, and
we will continue to off er it in the future. We also brought
to campus a representative of CINTAX who presented
three tax workshops for international students and
scholars.
ENHANCED PROGRAM OFFERINGS
Bechtel I-Center’s program off erings can be divided
into three categories: a) programs facilitated by the
Bechtel I-Center Staff Program Committee ; b) programs
off ered by groups affi liated with Bechtel I-Center
such as the Community Committee for International
Students: and c) programs sponsored by student or
campus organizations. All three categories fl ourished
during 2010-2011. Further information can be found
later in this report but we would note the following:
Many of our programs and events were presented
in conjunction with student groups on campus
and were support by funding from the Riddle
Family Foundation and the Billie Achilles Fund.
Over 10,000 attended programs off ered at
Bechtel I-Center during 2009-2010.

18 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11

SEVIS & Immigration Update
A list was compiled of key changes to SEVIS and
immigration related-regulations that affect F, J and H
visas as well as Permanent Residence sponsorship, for the
period September1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. They
are listed below.
SEVIS
During this time, three new releases were implemented
to SEVIS batch and RTI. These include SEVIS Release 6.6,
SEVIS Release 6.7, and SEVIS Release 6.8.
SEVIS Release 6.6 was implemented on November 12,
2010.
Changes for F and j schools included:
Upgrading of the CIP 2000 codes and descriptions to
the revised 2010 CIP codes and descriptions.
Reducing the time period for SEVIS to inactivate a
user account for inactivity from 90 days to 45 days.
SEVIS Release 6.7 was implemented on April 22, 2011.
Changes for F/M and j schools included:
Removal of all Driver License Numbers from the
SEVIS database, following the decision that SEVIS
would no longer be required to capture and store
this information for F-1/M-1 students, J-1 exchange
visitors, and J-2 spouses/dependents.
Changes for F/M schools included:
Allowing school officials to enter/edit an optional
email address for a student and his/her spouse/
dependents.
Changes for j schools included:
A 30-day validation window for initial status
verification when a nonimmigrant is approved to
change to J-1 status. Validation must be completed
within 30 days of the earlier of the following two
dates:
Program Start Date in SEVIS
Benefit Start Date on the Form I-797 Approval
Notice.
Failure to validate within this timeframe will result
in SEVIS automatically setting the exchange visitor
record to No Show status.
SEVIS Release 6.8 was implemented on June 24, 2011.
Changes affecting F and M schools included:
Requiring SEVP adjudication for I-17 updates like
adding a new PDSO or DSO when that individual
is not already a PDSO or DSO in the SEVIS system,
updating the name of a PDSO or DSO, and
modifications to the area of study and course of
study fields.
Disallowing the functionality that allows the PDSO
to add/update/edit/delete/assign DSOs while an
application for school recertification is pending.
Changes for j schools included:
Removal of the 400 Report
New “No Show” Link for Transfer-In Exchange Visitors
New functionality to Print Form DS-2019 for “Correct
Minor or Technical Infraction”
Additional fields for Secondary School Students and
Au Pairs
Removal of the Aviation Occupational Category
New functionality to request “Extension Beyond
Maximum Duration of Participation for Specialists”
Removal of functionality to request “Extension
Beyond Maximum Duration of Participation for
Student Interns”
SEVIS II
SEVIS II continued to be developed this year. Even
though SEVP did not officially announce a revised
implementation timeline, it communicated that
implementation of the initial operating capability phase
(Phase 1) will likely be in Spring 2013, and final operating
capability (Phase II) in Fall 2013.
Phase I will consists of:
Migration of I-17 and DS-3036 (school and exchange
visitor program) data from SEVIS I to SEVIS II, and the
review, correction and consolidation of that data.
Updating the SEVIS II I-17 and DS-3036 with any new
data that is required by SEVIS II but not present in
SEVIS I.
Migration of student, exchange visitor and
dependent data from SEVIS I to SEVIS II, and the
review, correction and consolidation of that data.
19

Creation of Customer Accounts by SEVIS users (RO/
AROs, PDSOs/DSOs, Government users, current
students, exchange visitors and their dependents,
as well as others that will need to interface with
the system), who will receive an Immigration
Identification Number (IIN)
Phase II is when SEVIS II “goes live,” and becomes the sole
system of record. Until that time, SEVIS I will be the sole
system of record. There is no overlap planned.
Social Security: SSA Resumes Sending No-Match Letters
On April 6, 2011, the Social Security Administration
(SSA) updated its policy guidance to resume sending
DECOR (Decentralized Correspondence) notices,
commonly known as “no-match” letters. SSA sends
these notices to employees or employers when a name
or Social Security Number (SSN) reported on Form W-2
or on self-employment reports does not match SSA’s
records.
Real ID Compliance Date Delayed
In a final rule published March 7, 2011, DHS extended
until January 15, 2013 the date by which States must
be in full compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005. The
prior full compliance date had been May 11, 2011.
Fee Changes
New fees for USCIS applications and petitions for
benefits, including the premium-processing fee,
became effective on November 23, 2010. Most fees
were raised, but the fees for Form I-539 and several
other forms are being slightly lowered:
I-102 Application for Replacement/Initial
Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document
changed from $320 to $330
I-129/129CW Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker
changed from $320 to $325
I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker changed
from $475 to $580
I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence
or Adjust Status changed from $930 to $985
I-907 Request for Premium Processing Service
changed from $1000 to $1225
I-539 Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant
Status changed from $300 to $290
I-765 Application for Employment Authorization
changed from $380 to $340

F-1 STUDENTS
Removal of NSEERS Country Designation
Effective April 28, 2011, DHS removed the following
countries from designation under the National Security
Entry-Exit Registration System: Afghanistan, Algeria,
Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran,
Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, North
Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
This followed DHS’ determination that manually
capturing arrival/exit information on non-immigrant
travelers through the NSEERS “special registration”
program was redundant and did not increase security,
so nationals or citizens of these countries would no
longer be subject to special registration procedures.
New I-515A Procedure
Starting July 15, 2011, SEVP has the authority
to terminate the SEVIS record status of any F
nonimmigrant who does not comply with the Form
I-515A directive within the 30-day response period.
Within five business days of the nonimmigrant
receiving temporary admission into the United States,
SEVP will notify the relevant designated school officials
(DSOs) of the issuance of the Form 1-515A and the
future termination date. At the end of the 30-day
response period, the nonimmigrant has two choices
if the nonimmigrant has not complied with the Form
I-515A:
Depart the United States immediately
File immediately for reinstatement with USCIS.
DHS STEM OPT Designated Degree Programs List 2011
Effective April 2011, students graduating from STEM-
Designated degree programs became eligible for an
additional 17 months of OPT.
Accreditation for Language Training Programs
On December 14, 2010, President Obama signed
into law “An Act to require the accreditation of
English language training programs, and for other
purposes.” The law amends section 101(a)(15)(F) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act to require that
intensive language training programs be accredited
by an accrediting agency recognized by the Secretary
of Education in order to be SEVIS-certified, issue Forms
I-20, and enroll F-1 nonimmigrant students.

j ExCHANGE VISITORS
Exchange Visitor Program Fee
Effective March 27, 2011, the fee for program
designation and re-designation was raised from $1748
to $2700, and the fee for other program services, such
as change of category and reinstatement was lowered
from $246 to $233.
EMPLOYMENT-BASED CATEGORIES
H-1B Updates
Deemed Export
On November 23, 2010, a new I-129 form that requires
a new “deemed export” attestation for H-1B, H-1B1
Chile/Singapore, L-1, and O-1A petitioners became
available. This form became mandatory on Feb. 20,
2011.
FY 2011 H-1B Cap
On January 26, 2011, USCIS estimated that it had
received enough H application to fill the FY 2011
H-1cap of 65,000. A computer-generated random
selection process was applied to all petitions received
on January 26th, and all remaining cap-subject
petitions not randomly selected were to be returned
with the accompanying fee.
VISA, TRAVEL AND REENTRY
Visa revocation
In April 2011, DOS’ final rule on Visa Revocation
Authority became effective. It broadens consular
officers’ visa revocation authority, allowing them
to revoke a nonimmigrant or immigrant visa at any
time, at his or her discretion. Previous regulations had
limited a consular officer’s ability to revoke visas to
several enumerated grounds.

Services to International Families
In today’s world, the individuals who come to Stanford
as dependents of international graduate students,
post-docs and visiting scholars often have equivalent
educational backgrounds to that of the person they are
accompanying.
Regardless of gender, these spouses all face a serious
challenge in deciding to join their partner at Stanford.
In most cases, they are forced to abandon or postpone
their own professional development in order to keep the
couple or family together. Reactions to this challenge
vary widely, from acceptance to frustration and
resentment at being cut off from one’s career, family and
friends. This situation can be a major source of stress.
The goal of the Office for International Families is to
create programs and services that will provide support
and assistance to these individuals in their varying
situations, and to build a supportive international
community that will enable them to create a positive and
constructive experience at Stanford. This is accomplished
by combining individual advising (in which the Adviser’s
role is supplemented by peer advising in various
languages through the members of the Spouse Welcome
Committee and advisers in the Resource Center for
International Families) and with program opportunities
(to develop classes that use their skills and/or attend
classes and programs that offer stimulation and new
perspectives). Through this process, as spouses become
involved in the I-Center’s programs, their basic needs are
addressed. They are introduced to the resources of their
new surroundings, build on their skills or learn new ones,
and develop a feeling of community with others in a
similar situation.
ADVISING & SERVICES
Coordinator for Classes and Programs for Stanford
Spouses, Partners & Families
The program has one Coordinator, who works 15 hours
per week for the program. Susanne Maas from Germany
has been working as the Coordinator of the Program
since November 2009.
The Coordinator is responsible for the quarterly Spouse
Program, the weekly newsletter, contacting volunteers,
updating the information material, recruiting new
volunteers, and answering questions about the program.
She also plans procedures for welcoming and orienting
newcomers to Stanford, including organizing the
Welcome Reception and leads the Welcome Committee.
Friday Morning Coffee Coordinator
and Welcome Receptions
This is a three-hour-per-week position, handling the
logistical aspects and assuring continuity of the various
procedures for welcoming and orienting newcomers to
Stanford. Hyeyon Moon from Korea has held this position
since November 2009.
Welcome Committee
We invite spouses to be part of the next year’s Welcome
Committee. Since the most effective way to assist
newcomers in adapting is to put them in touch with
someone who speaks their language and has gone
through a similar experience, we recruited and trained
a group of volunteers from many different countries to
be our Welcome Committee for International Families.
Committee members met during spring and summer and
organized a major Welcome Reception for International
Spouses.
Email Service
We provide an email service where new and returning
spouses can ask questions: stanfordfamilies@gmail.com.
Responsible for answering is the team of John Pearson
(Director), Shalini Bhutani (Associate Director) and Gridt
Find and later this year Wendy Cardamone (Building
Manager).
Resource Center
The Resource Center for International Families is a
comprehensive combination of information and peer
advising that enables spouses and family members
to build a stimulating and worthwhile experience for
themselves while they are accompanying a student,
post-doc, visiting scholar or faculty member at Stanford.
The community volunteer, Mary Schuelke, is responsible
for the project. She continually adds new material, which
she organizes and updates. She also coordinates the
scheduling and training of the volunteer advisers who
staff the Center.
The RC advisers provided a warm welcome and
encouragement to newly-arrived internationals as
well as information on car purchases, driver licenses,
health insurance, educational pursuits, volunteering,
work authorization, schools and activities for kids, and
recreational opportunities. Visitors also take advantage of
our lending library, with books in Japanese, Korean and
several other languages as well as English. The advisers
skillfully helped visitors to the Center during open hours
spread over 4 days per week
Resource Center Coordinator, Mary Schuelke, has
provided detailed information on the Resources Center’s
activities, which may be found on page 28.

Handbook for International Spouses,
Partners and Families
Every year the International Families Office designs, edits
and produces a 28-page publication which serves as a
handbook for international families and also a calendar
to advise them of relevant academic dates and I-Center
programs. The Calendar/Handbook, “2010-2011 at
Stanford”, includes extensive information on community
resources of special interest to this population and
provides answers to their most frequently asked
questions. During the summer of 2011 Susanne Maas
was responsible for editing the new handbook 2010-
2011, a guide for new and returning spouses with lots of
information including the welcome committee member
list.
PROGRAMS
To create programs, we work with spouses to turn their
knowledge and expertise or avocation into a class that
will be both stimulating for them and beneficial to those
who attend the program.
Each program serves multiple purposes simultaneously,
providing a channel for the teacher or leader to develop
her/his expertise, valuable learning experience for
the students, and an opportunity for spouses to form
friendships with others in a similar situation.
In the year 2010-2011, we offered 116 different courses,
classes, workshops and events. They can be classified
as: Orientation programs (the Friday Morning Coffee,
Welcome Reception and Campus tours); workshops
for spouses (Yoga, Beginner’s Art History Class), Crafts
(knitting), Cooking (Basics of French Cooking, Benise
- West African Cooking), Languages (from Arabic to
Russian over 9 different languages), and Childrens’
Groups (Baby and Toddler group, Fun for Kids outing).
Planning
To plan the programs, the Coordinator invites new and
returning volunteers to a special planning meeting held
every quarter. One main source of volunteer recruitment
is the registration form each newcomer is asked to
provide.
Each quarter our program serves hundreds of spouses,
partners and families. The Friday Morning Coffee alone has
around 60 visitors and 30 children each week. The Yoga
class had peak times with over 35 students so the teacher
decided to offer a second class called Postnatal Yoga with
Babies. The Orientation tour to the Career Development
Center in fall interested 25 students; Japanese and
Spanish language classes were also very popular and
the cooking classes were sold out immediately after the
24 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11
registration forms came out. However, the number of
students is not the only key to success but rather the
diversity of people who find their way to the program.
The classes are a mirror of this colorful life.
Beside these programs, we offered special events, usually
during or after Friday Morning Coffee– a Halloween Party,
a presentation about Thanksgiving, Christmas Cookie
Decoration and celebration of International Women’s day.
The Halloween Party and the International Women’s Day
event attracted more than 100 attendees.
Collaboration with the CCIS
We also collaborated closely with the Community
Committee for International Students (CCIS) on a number
of projects:
The Friday Morning Coffee is assisted by a group of
8 volunteers.
The CCIS Spouse Education Fund offers financial
assistance to enable spouses/partners to pursue
their career and academic interests while in the
Stanford area.
The Professional Liaison Program for International
Spouses.
Collaboration with others at Stanford
The Families Office also collaborated with other Stanford
offices and units in order to introduce spouses and
partners to relevant campus services, and to co-sponsor
programs for the benefit of spouses. For example, the
Office worked with the Career Development Center to
co-sponsor a fall workshop, and took a group to visit the
Career Library there. The Families Office collaborated
with the Graduate Life and Work/Life Offices in
organizing the Spouse/Partner Welcome in September,
and works closely together with the Escondido Village
Community Advisers.

LIST OF ALL CLASSES IN 2010-2011 During the year, we had four planning meetings
for the classes and workshops and two meetings for the welcome receptions.

26 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11

RESOURCE CENTER FOR
INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
The Resource Center for International Families was
pleased to welcome 327 visitors from approximately
42 countries during the 2010-2011 academic year. This
represented increases of nearly 14 percent in the number
of visitors and 27 percent in the number of countries.
While the number of visitors from Japan remained stable,
the number from China and South Korea increased
significantly.
Our visitors were warmly welcomed by 9
international spouse advisors from 6 countries who
collectively spoke 7 languages in addition to English.
Once they had been through the training sessions,
the spouse advisors became adept at guiding visitors
through their adaptation to life at Stanford.
Our Resource Center flier, with information
on the Resource Center and directions to our website,
is available in 17 languages. It is one way in which we
let our visitors know, even when they are comfortable
speaking English, that we care about them and their
countries. Those whose English is limited are pleased
when they are able to speak with an advisor who shares
their native language.
We continue to provide a wide array of
resources to visitors who have just arrived at Stanford
as well as to those who have been at Stanford for some
time. Although the international spouses most often
visit the Resource Center for the first time with an
international student, scholar, or post-doc, we focus
on the international spouse. We give her/him a spouse
calendar and point out the highlights, and then give
out other resources as needed: campus maps, DMV
handbooks, driver license application forms, shopping
guides, and information on the I-Center, spouse
programs, and English classes. For those spouses with
children, we offer the WorkLife Office brochure as well
as information on schools and activities for children.
Spouses with J-2 visas are given information on applying
for work authorization as well as a copy of the Career
Development Center handbook. We encourage them to
visit the CDC and to take advantage of the counseling
appointment to which they are entitled. Depending
on the personal interests of the spouse, we also draw
on information from our many shelves of notebooks
and make note of helpful websites. Our lending library
is particularly popular with spouses from Japan and
Korea, who are delighted to find numerous books in
their languages. Once they are settled into their lives
at Stanford, spouses most often return to the Resource
Center for guidance on educational opportunities,
options for volunteering, ideas for recreation and travel,
and resources on pregnancy and childbirth.
The numbers of spouses who have left
educations or careers behind when coming to Stanford
28 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11
continues to increase. Depending on their visa status,
many of them choose to continue their education or
seek employment in their professional fields. A particular
challenge this year has been to suggest appropriate
possibilities for the spouses who have left behind careers
in medicine and who are unable to practice medicine
while here. There are opportunities available to them if
they wish to pursue them.
I am grateful to the international spouses who
have volunteered their time and their talents as advisors
in the Resource Center. Having themselves gone through
the transition to life at Stanford, they have enabled
newly-arrived spouses to successfully work their ways
through similar transitions.
As we look back on our ten years of serving the
International Community, all of us in the Resource Center
are also looking forward to the new academic year and
to the privilege of warmly welcoming and generously
assisting the many international spouses and children
who will come our way!

ORC ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND
DEVELOPMENTS IN 2010 /11
This year, the Overseas Resource Center continued to
increase the quality of scholarship outreach sessions,
which consequently increased the number of applicants
and award recipients. One surprise was the record number
of Fulbright candidates this year with 93 applications
submitted. The highest number in the past was 87
applicants. Over the course of the year, there was also
more collaboration among campus partners including
Bing Overseas Studies Programs (BOSP) and Career
Development Center (CDC) through the annual Away from
Stanford Opportunities Fair as well as with the Haas Center
for Public Policy through the Haas Year of Service Fair. We
also worked with Residence Halls and Community Centers
where we conducted scholarship information sessions.
In addition, meetings and joint scholarship information
sessions were held with Undergraduate Advising and
Research to promote both overseas and domestic awards
across campus.
ORC Personnel
Throughout the academic year, Tamara Cogan continued
as the main Front Desk Coordinator whose primary role
is to take passport photos, process ISIC cards as well as
work on projects and perform a number of administrative
duties. Kristin Costigan was also instrumental during the
busy Fall 2010 scholarship season. Kristin left the ORC
in February 2011 to complete her graduate studies and
to go on maternity leave. From September 2010 to May
2011, we welcomed Kate McKinney, our graduate student
intern from the School of Education Policy, Organization,
Leadership Studies Graduate who helped us with
scholarships and a large survey as described below. Kate’s
internship consisted of three main areas: Fall quarter:
To learn to develop, collect, and analyze survey data;
Winter: To develop own advising skills; Spring: To develop
outreach plans and outreach skills.
34 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11
We also hired Adrian Bonifacio a work-study student to assist
with passport photos one afternoon per week and other student
workers, Monica Climaco and Yoon-Jung Lee who helped us
occasionally with passport photos especially during the rush
period. In early July, thanks to the IDEA Grant funding we hired
Camira Powell for our short-term outreach video project. In mid-
August, Mikaela Hinds join our team to help during our busy
scholarship season for 2011-2012.
Photos and ISIC
Photograph and International Student Identification Card (ISIC)
services continue to be scheduled for Monday-Friday, 1-5pm.
We have extended the photo taking service from 11am-5pm
during the third week of each quarter as it coincides with the
BOSP study abroad program deadlines. We increased the Front
Desk coverage during these peak times to handle the student
rush for photos. In January 2011, the ORC purchased a new Sony
UPX-C300 instant passport photo camera and digital printing
system. In October 2010 the ORC bought a Brother electronic LCD
display typewriter to process ISIC cards as the previous typewriter
had irreparable issues with several of the keys. The need for the
typewriter replacement was determined because the ISIC covering
materials are not suitable for high heat laser printers that had been
attempted previously. At this time, we are still unable to create
digital photos as it would be too costly to purchase the equipment
for this service. Nonetheless, the new camera does facilitate the
image processing quality and time.
Resource Library
The ORC library is still used regularly by students who consult
the binders of successful essays written by Stanford scholarship
recipients. The hours are Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm.

specified materials were matched with a Rhodes-
Marshall mentor to work with during the summer
61 Fulbright applicants were matched with
Stanford Fulbright Grantee Alumni with regards to
their proposed country or field of study
11 Gates Cambridge candidates were matched
with mentors
3 Luce Scholar Program candidate finalists were
connected with Luce Mentors
Recognition
In April, our new scholars, the successful candidates
going to study in UK in 2011 were invited for a luncheon
with British Consul General, Julian Evans at the Faculty
Club on April 6. We held an Overseas Scholarship
Winners’ Reception on May 23 and invited winners and
their choice of faculty member and panel members. The
names of the scholarship winners are recognized and
posted on the bulletin board in the ORC and on the ORC
website.
Database
In January 2011 the database discussion meetings
with John Pearson, Diane Murk and senior Danny
Crichton began to take place. Danny’s expertise from
his coursework, internships in information technology
companies and experience in designing a similar
database for scholarships for Students in Government
through the Haas Center contributed to the new design
of the ORC scholarship database. Danny was provided
with the ORC database schema that the international
graduate student had designed the previous summer in
2010. The meetings continued over the summer as the
database based on our needs was under development.
The first round of testing was done in early fall 2011
and the project completion is estimated for the end
of January 2012. Our aim is to begin actively using
the database to help track applicants over a span of
years and increase efficiency in the scholarship campus
process in Spring 2012.
IDEA Grant
We applied for the IDEA Grant - Innovation in Diversity,
Engagement and Awareness in January 2011 offered
by Student Affairs and Google. We were awarded
the grant for our Overseas Scholarship Diversity
Outreach project a few months later. The purpose of
this project is to engage Student Affairs staff to help
the ORC increase awareness and knowledge about
international scholarships and funding opportunities
among underrepresented undergraduate and graduate
students and to encourage qualified students to
apply for these awards. The project consists of three
components: 1) To create 3-5 short video film clips of
4-7 past overseas scholarship winners who come from
diverse backgrounds; 2) To design and facilitate an
Overseas Scholarship Diversity Outreach session for the
target group of Student Affairs professionals. These 3-5
minute video clips would be screened during the session;
3) To post the interview film clips on the ORC website as
a resource for future applicants and for the community.
In July 2011, thanks to the funding, we hired Camira
Powell, a junior, Communications major, to coordinate
the project. We also purchased a Sony DCR-SX85 handy
35

video camera also to be used for future Bechtel
International Center videos. Camira filmed, recorded
and edited the brief interviews, and once completed,
they were put up on You Tube in August. The project
will continue in the next academic year 2011-2012 with
the outreach session scheduled for November 2011
followed by a presentation at the Student Affairs Poster
Session in May 2012.
Programs
The ORC also co-sponsored a number of programs
that were hosted at the Bechtel International Center.
We helped organize a George Orwell and Albert
Camus Literary panel event in conjunction with the
Northern California Fulbright Alumni Association in
December 2010. We helped plan the International
Women’s Day Celebration in collaboration with the
Stanford Women’s Center with an afternoon of events
held in March 2011. The program included a panel of
speakers who spoke about Women and Leadership, a
poetry reading and improvisation component followed
by an interactive dance workshop. We also were a
campus partner for the planning of the Peace Corps
50th Anniversary events along with the Haas Center
and other units. The events were held across campus
in mid-April 2011. At the end of April, we worked with
the Canadian Consulate in Palo Alto and the Stanford
Canadian Club Student Association to host a reception
to promote academic opportunities abroad in Canada
Intern, Survey, Poster Session and National Association
of Fellowship Advisor Conference Presentation
During the Fall quarter 2010 Kate McKinney, our
ORC Intern, conducted a survey to assess strengths
and potential areas of improvement in our services.
This was based on feedback from past applicants,
students who expressed initial interest in applying for
a scholarship but did not submit an application, and
from panelists who interviewed the applicants. Using
Qualtrics survey tool, this project surveyed two groups
(past applicants and non-applicants) on a variety of
ORC services and analyzed the results to determine
these areas of strength and improvement. The panelist
comments were collected through informal guided
lunch discussions. This feedback assists future ORC
advising sessions. The information was presented
in two ways: The first was in the form of a poster at
the Student Affairs poster session in May 2011. The
second was through a workshop co-presented by John
Pearson and Diane Murk at the National Association
for Fellowship Advisors (NAFA) bi-annual conference in
Chicago in July 2011.
36 Bechtel International Center Annual Report 2010/11
This survey along with two focus group lunches with
members of the Stanford Panel led to some changes
for the Fall 2011 process, the most significant being
to begin campus interviews earlier in September to
offset both the late fall start date for Stanford and the
national deadlines.
III. ORC Sales 2010-2011
The ORC sells passport photos and International
Student ID Cards (ISIC) to the Stanford community,
as well as to the public. Since the Stanford Post Office
stopped providing passport photo services in April,
ORC sales have dramatically increased.

IV. Strategic Goals
The ORC’s main goals for 2011-2012 are:
•
•
•
•
Increase diversity among scholarship
applicant pool by working with campus
partners.
Move forward with next stage of development
of ORC applicant database.
Continue to enhance the scholarship mentormatching
program.
Improve the faculty nomination process.

Project Purpose
We would like to express gratitude to the staff of
the Overseas Resource Center for their hard work
and receptiveness to positive and constructive
feedback. We are also thankful to the students
who took the time to give us their feedback by
completing this survey. Finally, we would like to
thank all of our students for inspiring us through
their drive to succeed to continue expanding and
improving upon our support services for overseas
scholarships.

Technology at the I-Center
HARDWARE & SOFTWARE
With a greatly reduced budget, we have not been able to
buy much new equipment. However, we did manage the
following:
Four new desktop computers were purchased
for staff to replace old (and out-of-warranty)
computers.
NETWORK & WEB
We continued to create and use a number of formbuilder
forms for various applications including sign ups for
various events. This web-based form creator allows us to
create and manage forms/data with little technical skill
and has been used to track/compile non-sensitive data
such as sign-ups for events, room reservations and the
Achilles fund applications. The Overseas Resource Center
used formbuilder to compile mailing lists and to gather
information from students.
All scholar databases were moved from our in-house
server to VPSA’s fi le sharing Xythos server .
OBjECTIVES MET THIS YEAR
The workfl ow process in Peoplesoft was expanded to
include the processing of H-1B and other employment
based visa types. This also necessitated the creation of
a portal which could be used by non-Stanford people
to enter their biographic, educational and immigration
history which would then feed into the workfl ow
application. After initial problems, the system has been
used by many departments to enter, track and approve
the process for prospective and current employment
based visas.
The Bechtel International Center website continued to
be added to and enhanced with new information and
changing regulations.
OBjECTIVES FOR THE COMING YEAR
Create new fi lemaker databases to store and track
information for Permanent Residency applications.
Begin planning process for use of Drupal for our
web site.
Add a section on our website for Stanford students
going abroad.

PROGRAMS 2010/11
Programs and Events
at the I-Center
Regular meetings were held by a Program
Committee. The purposes of the committee were:
•
•
•
•
•
•
To evaluate program proposals from student
organizations.
To initiate selected programs sponsored by
Bechtel: e.g. International Week, Winter Quarter
Discussion Series and the Faculty-Graduate
Student Lunch Discussion Series.
To coordinate outreach and publicity for our
programs.
In keeping with these goals each quarter we
offer some events that are run directly by the
I-Center as well as provide some assistance to
student groups to offer their own activities.
Most of our events are free and open to the
public.
Following is a summary of the events which
the I-Center organized, or provided a venue
for, during the 2010/11 year. Many of these
events were presented in conjunction with
student groups and supported by funding from
the Billie Achilles fund and the Riddle Family
Foundation.
We would like to thank all of these individuals
and groups for their support, and hard work.
Without them, the I-Center would not have
been able to offer such a range of programs
and opportunities.
Fall Quarter Events
We had approximately 3,653 people attend evening and
weekend events, and we hosted 391 events total during
the quarter.

F-1 Practical Training: Students holding F-1 visas who have maintained their legal F-1 status, are eligible to
apply for off -campus work authorization, known as “practical training” which enables a student to obtain
practical work experience in his/her fi eld of study to supplement the student’s academic experience.
Practical Training received before completion of the degree falls into two categories:
Curricular, if the student receives course credit for the work experience
Optional (pre-completion).
Practical Training received after degree completion is called Post-Completion Optional Practical training.
Special extensions of F-1 Post-completion OPT are:
1748 total students
represented
CPT
42%
741
students
a. STEM extension (17-month extension beyond normal 12 months of Post-OPT):
Criteria for this extension are 1) F-1 students who received science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) degrees included on the STEM Designated Degree Program List; 2) who are
employed by employers enrolled in E-Verify and; 3) who have received an initial authorization of
post-completion OPT in the STEM fi eld.
b. Cap Gap extension: Under this rule, the F-1 status of students on Post-Completion OPT is
automatically extended when the student is the benefi ciary of an H-1B petition for the next fi scal
year (with an October 1 employment start date) fi led on his or her behalf during the period in
which H-1B petitions are accepted for that fi scal year.
All types of practical training require a preliminary authorization by one of the Designated School Offi cials
at the Bechtel I-Center. Students applying for Optional Practical Training must then submit the I-Center’s
preliminary authorization to the USCIS in order to apply for the Employment Authorization Document that
will permit them to work. Students who request Curricular Practical Training require only the preliminary
authorization from the Bechtel I-Center.
J-1 Academic Training is a period of authorized, off -campus employment directly related to a student’s fi eld
of study for J-1 students. J-1 students may participate in Academic Training prior to graduation or after their
completion of study for a total maximum of 18 months or the period of their full course of study, whichever
is shorter. Academic Training requires a letter of authorization from the J Program’s Responsible Offi cer and a
valid job off er.
