The OIA is the university's internal institutional resource that offers services to foreign nationals, non- U.S. citizens, or U.S. permanent residents who join the academic, research, and clinical endeavors of UTHealth. The OIA provides information on a wide range of topics, including immigration issues such as work permits and travel. Email: utoiahouston@uth.tmc.edu
