Travel Signature - Online Request

Make sure you have a valid travel signature from ISSS prior to returning to the U.S. after international travel!

  • The travel signature (pg 2 of your I-20) is required for returning to the U.S. It is not required for leaving the U.S.
  • Each signature is valid for one year. (F-1 students on OPT: the travel signature is valid for six months).
  • A travel signature is issued by ISSS to confirm you are maintaining your F-1 or J-1 student status.
  • If your current travel signature will expire before you will return to the U.S., you must request an updated travel signature.

If you need a new visa, it is difficult to predict when consulates will resume visa processing and how long it will take.
You can find your program end date on page one of your I-20. If the end date is before you plan to return to Drew campus, you will need a program extension OR a Change of Level I-20.
Your electronically signed I-20 with travel signature will be emailed to your Drew email address. Due to COVID-19, we have guidance that both the Department of State and Customs and Border Protection wil accept electronic issuance and signature of form I-20 for the duration of the COVID-19 emergency. You will not need to have the original I-20 shipped to you in your home country.
