Travel Signature Request
What is a travel signature?
F-1 students, J-1 students, and their dependents must get a travel signature on their I-20/DS-2019 before they leave the U.S. and reenter. This is to prove that you're maintaining the visa status, and you plan to come back to ESU to continue your studies after your international trip. You must get a travel signature every time you travel internationally. Without the most updated travel signature, you might not be able to reenter the U.S.If you request a travel signature for summer/winter break, you will need to make sure to enroll in classes for the future semester first before you request it.
