Holiday Travel Guidance


Are you traveling out of the US for the holidays? Plan ahead! The end of the semester is a busy time for ISSS. Travel signatures are good for 12 months for students in F-1 and J-1 status, and 6 months for those in F-1 status on OPT. You can request a travel signature in iTerp and a new I-20 or DS-2019 will be sent to you electronically.


Please note that you should only be travelling during break periods. It's expected that you remain in the U.S. for the entirety of the semester if you are a student. For more information on travel and travel signatures, please review information here.
