Permanent Resident

The permanent residency applicant completes the Employee Information section of the Initiation of Lawful Permanent Residence Form.  The applicant sends the Initiation of Lawful Permanent Residence Form by email to the sponsoring department.

After the applicant completes the Employee Information section, the sponsoring department completes the Department Information Section and the Information Regarding Teaching Positions section (if applicable).

The sponsoring department must submit the Initiation of Lawful Permanent Residence Form to the following offices for review and signature:

• Director or Department Chair
• Vice President or Dean
• Office of the Provost

Upon approval by all required parties, the Office of the Provost sends all paperwork to WSU's outside legal counsel.
