International Visa/Citizenship Information in PeopleSoft

Step 1: Entering a new Citizenship and Visa Information

The citizenship link is associated to a person. To locate the link first navigate to the Biographical Details tab.

First click on the Citizenship link on the bottom right hand side of the Biographical Details Tab:

This will open a new page where you can enter the Citizenship information:

Click on the prompt next to the Country text box and select the appropriate country.

Select “Citizen” or “Permanent Resident” from the Citizenship Status drop down box. If you have any additional information the rest of the fields can be filled in, otherwise leave them blank.

Select OK when you are finished.

Now that a non-USA citizenship has been selected the visa type can be entered.

Please note: PeopleSoft only contains information for US visas.

Select the Visa/Permit Data on the bottom right hand side of the PeopleSoft Biographical Details page:

Fill in the Country with USA

Select the Visa type from the list by clicking the prompt, or filling in the appropriate visa type.

Fill in the remaining known fields with the appropriate information. For instance, a Permanent Resident with a Green Card/Permanent resident card would look like this:

With the appropriate fields filled in, including the type of Documentation received, the Issue and Expiration Date, and the appropriate Status.

Fill in the appropriate information when documents arrive.

If the visa type on the Visa/Permit Data page matches the information received, post the documents received in the appropriate fields.

If the updated information arrives i.e. a new expiration or change in visa status, enter a new effective dated row with the updated information, do not change the previous data.

For example:

Adding the Application

Application Number: always leave blank

ID: if you have carried over the ID number from a student from the Search/Match that number should be populated here. If this is a brand new record this field should say NEW

Academic Institution: should always be ASU00

Academic Career: choose the right career

  • GRAD – Graduate Student
  • UGRD – Undergraduate Student

Once you have saved the application, the application number and ID(if the student is brand new) will be assigned to the student record.

After clicking “add” you will be taken to the actual biographical info/application entry pages. The 1st two pages/tabs deal with the student’s biographical data, the last 3 pages/tabs deal with application data

Tab #1: Biographical Details:

Many of the fields (first name, date of birth, etc) are self explanatory.

Effective Date: date of application/applicant entry, only change this if we need to backdate (for example to make it effective to register for the term)

Campus ID: you do not need to know or enter this

Birth Information: if student is domestic, you do not need to go to this page. For international students, clicking this link will give you the option of entering Birth Location, Country, and State.

National ID: default value is ‘Primary’; this needs to be left checked

For USA students, this is the student’s Social Security Number (SSN).

For International students, this will represent a SSN that has been assigned by the US Government. This field should not be used for the Alien ID # from a ‘greencard’ or ID # from their country of citizenship.

Phone Number:When entering more than one phone number, one has to be marked as ‘preferred’. Always use HOME for preferred.

Addresses: If you need to modify an address choose Edit Address . To add a new address, click on the + mark next to the current address.

Email: one has to be marked as ‘preferred.’ Always uses the ASU email as preferred.

To add an additional National ID, Phone Number, or Email, click on the ‘Add’ button located just below that particular field.

Visa/Permit Data and Citizenship: These links will take you to pages where you can record the student’s citizenship and visa data; please see the visa/citizenship business process guide.

Tab #2: Regional

This tab is only used for domestic students. Always choose USA when determining ethnicity – these are the codes used for federal reporting.
