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.
