[Intl-stu] Do you need a travel signature on your I-20?

[International Students]

It is that time of the year where international students are making
travel plans for the Thanksgiving and winter breaks.  This email is a
reminder to review your I-20 to see if you will need a travel signature.


 

The travel signature is on the last page of the I-20 and the signature
is valid for 12 months from the date of the signature for re-entry to
the U.S.  A new signature is NOT REQUIRED to depart the U.S or every
time a student travels outside the U.S.  

 

Please note that any travel signature requests may take up to 5 business
days to process.  THE ISSO IS UNABLE TO PROCESS SAME DAY TRAVEL
SIGNATURE REQUESTS AND STUDENTS NEED TO BE PREPARED TO LEAVE THEIR I-20
AT THE ISSO TO PICK UP ON A LATER DAY.  Students need to be sure to make
their travel signature request in a timely manner, at least 2 weeks
before they travel, to allow the ISSO time to review the student's
records and documents.  Students outside the Commerce area may mail
their I-20's with the Travel Signature Request form linked below to the
ISSO for processing.  Instructions to mail the documents are provided on
the form.

 

To request a travel signature students will need to complete the Travel
Signature Request form at  
http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/CampusServices/internationalStudentServi
ces/currentStudents/visa-and-travel-resources1/travel-information-for-cu
rrent-students.aspx and submit the Travel Signature Request form and
their original current A&M-Commerce I-20 to the ISSO.  The form will
request information about your passport and visa so be sure to have it
with you when you fill out the form.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRAVEL
SIGNATURE REQUEST MAY TAKE UP TO 5 BUSINESS DAYS TO PROCESS.

U.S. go to
