[Intl-stu] Travel Signature Week, February 29 to March 3

[International Students]

The Office of International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) will be hosting Travel Signature Week from February 29 to March 3 from 1pm-4pm in Halladay 104.  During the Travel Signature Week students may walk-in from 1pm-4pm and receive a travel signature while they wait. Wait times are generally less than 15 minutes.  If there is any chance you will travel outside the U.S. spring break then please be sure to visit the ISSS during our walk-in travel signature times.

We will host additional travel signature walk-in times later in April for students traveling outside the U.S. during the summer.  Please note that due to the high number of emergency travel signature request the ISSS staff regularly receive we will not expedite a travel signature request.

Please be sure to complete the Travel Request Signature form at http://bit.ly/1rNGPFf BEFORE you visit the ISSS.  The ISSS may request a copy of a student's travel itinerary in certain circumstances.

Please remember:
*        A travel signature is valid for 12 months from the date of the signature for re-entry to the U.S.  Attached is a sample of where the travel signature is located on the I-20.
*        Students traveling outside the U.S. with an expired visa will need to renew their visa before they will be allowed to re-enter.  For information about renewing your visa go to http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/study-exchange/student.html.  Please note the unofficial or official transcript is sufficient for the visa renewal and the ISSS no longer issues visa renewal letters per the guidance from the U.S. Department of State.
*        Please go to Passport Validity<https://www.ice.gov/sevis/travel#countries> under the passport expiration section.
*        For more information about traveling outside the U.S. go to http://www.ice.gov/sevis/travel.

PLEASE NOTE that due to the high number of emergency travel signature requests the ISSS staff regularly receive from students we WILL NOT EXPEDITE a travel signature request.  If the I-20 cannot be signed before you depart the U.S. you may set-up shipping through the ISSS website to have your I-20 mailed to you outside the U.S. once signed.
