There are several resources we recommend you review in preparation for your travels to the U.S. Please make sure you carry your passport, visa, I-20/DS-2019, and SEVIS I-901 fee receipt with you on the plane. We recommend you review the recent Presidential Proclamation for more information about any travel restrictions and the OIE FAQ for other visa related information.
