International students traveling during fall break need a valid travel signature on their I-20 to re-enter the U.S. Check your I-20 for a valid signature before requesting one on MyISSS. For details, visit the ISSS Travel and Reentry into the U.S. web page.

If you are requesting an immigration document or letter from our office, remember that we request ten business days to process requests. Make sure you plan accordingly so you have enough time to receive your document before you need it. All ISSS requests should be submitted through the MyISSS student portal. You can view our MyISSS Student Handbook for assistance with your submission.

Click the Chat with ISSS button on the bottom corner of the ISSS web page, and the ISSS team can assist you with your inquiry.
