The ISSS Thanksgiving Dinner is happening next Thursday and there are still seats available!
What are you thankful for this year? Good food? Good friends? Your Miami experience? Join us to share this tradition of gratitude with old and new friends.
Guests can enjoy a buffet-style Thanksgiving dinner, a musical performance, arts and crafts, and more. The menu will include traditional Thanksgiving dishes like roast turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. The Mayor of Oxford will join us, and we will be announcing the winner of the inaugural Donald Nelson Award for Outstanding International Student Support. ISSS is looking forward to celebrating this holiday with you!

Traveling Outside the U.S. Over Break
If you are traveling outside the United States, you must have your I-20 or DS-2019 signed by ISSS! You should request your travel signature via InterLink at least two weeks before your departure.
Please review your document (second page of I-20 or first page of DS-2019) to see if it has been signed for travel. A travel signature can be used for entry into the U.S. for one year from the day it was signed, provided that you remain enrolled full-time at Miami, your document has not expired, and your major has not changed.
Not sure what a travel signature is or if you need one? Go to the ISSS website for more information on required documents needed for travel.

Question: My I-20 expires this semester, but I’m not sure if I will graduate. How long can I stay in the US after the semester ends?
