Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How can you request a travel signature?

If you did not receive a travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019 before traveling, please request Form I-515A at the immigration port of entry. It is most likely the Customs and Border Protection officer at the U.S. Port of Entry will issue you an I-515 form.

Can I travel without travel signature?

Check your Current Travel Signature If your travel signature is still valid, you do not need a new I-20/DS-2019 travel signature every time you travel internationally if your current signature is still valid. You do not need a valid travel signature to leave the U.S., but you do need one to enter the U.S.

How long is a travel signature valid on OPT?

During OPT/STEM, the I-20 should be up-to-date with your current information, and the travel endorsement is only valid for 6 months.

What is travel endorsement signature?

A travel endorsement is a signature from your Designated School Official (VIS advisor) located on page 2 of your Form I-20. This signature is required for re-entry into the United States and serves as confirmation that you are maintaining F-1 status.

How long is the travel signature on your DS-2019 valid?

This new DS-2019 contains a travel signature from OISS*, which is required for re-entry to the U.S. This signature is valid for one year, or for the duration of your DS-2019 form if your stay is less than one year. Once your travel signature expires, you can request a new one by following the instructions on this page.

Is the travel endorsement signature valid for one year?

It is important to request the travel endorsement before planning international travel! F-1 students can find the travel endorsement section on their I-20, bottom of page 2. Each signature is valid for 1 year if you are an enrolled student, or 6 months if you are on Post-Completion OPT/OPT STEM Extension.

What if I forgot my travel signature on my I-20?

To obtain a new signature, either come to the office during advising hours with your original I-20 or DS-2019 OR request a reprint of your I-20 or DS-2019 via our I-20/DS-2019 reprint request form.

How long is each travel signature valid for while enrolled in a program at USC?

Each travel signature is valid for one year from the date it was signed and six months for students on OPT or STEM OPT Extension.
