Incoming student from China calls with questions about arriving for their first semester.
"AI responds in Mandarin: "欢迎来到州立大学！我很高兴帮助您准备到来。首先，您的I-20已经寄出，应该在一周内到达。到达后，您需要在10天内向国际学生办公室报到。我可以安排机场接机服务 - 您的航班是什么时候？关于住房，您的宿舍分配是林肯大厅302室。我会发送一份详细的清单，包括您需要带什么、到达时该做什么，以及银行开户和手机套餐的信息。您还有其他问题吗？" (Welcome, helps with I-20 tracking, airport pickup, housing, and provides comprehensive checklist in Chinese)"
Student on F-1 visa wants to understand their work authorization options.
"AI explains clearly: "I can help explain your work authorization options. As an F-1 student, you have several options. First, you can work on-campus up to 20 hours per week during the semester and full-time during breaks - no additional authorization needed. For off-campus work, you can apply for CPT if it's required for your degree, or OPT which gives you 12 months of work authorization after graduation - 36 months for STEM majors. You're a Computer Science major, so you qualify for STEM OPT. Would you like me to schedule an appointment with an international advisor to discuss your specific situation and timeline?""
International student wants to travel home for winter break and needs guidance.
"AI provides travel guidance: "Great question about traveling during break. Before you go, you need to get your I-20 signed for travel by the International Office - I can schedule that appointment for you. Make sure your visa stamp is still valid for re-entry; yours expires in 8 months so you're good. You'll need to bring your valid passport, signed I-20, proof of enrollment for next semester, and evidence of financial support. When you return, go through the international arrivals line with these documents. Would you like me to send you a complete travel checklist and schedule your I-20 signing appointment? The office has availability tomorrow at 2 PM.""
