Immigration Service Fees
The implementation of a fee structure is necessary to ensure KU retains the internal capacity to perform this work and hold costs to the unit to a minimum. The fee covers the average professional time involved in case processing only and is not meant to generate additional revenue to KU or to International Support Services
Billing Process
For fees covered by KU departments, you will be contacted by International Support Services for appropriate DARBI billing information. If you have questions about the billing process please contact iss@ku.edu.
