- OIA responds to requests as expeditiously as possible; typically within five buiness days (not including weekends, federal or university holidays).
- You may request a reprint using the form below and an updated I-20 or DS-2019 will be emailed to you. If you would rather visit the office to obtain a signature in-person, please be sure to check our hours of operations listed here.

- A travel signature is not required for each trip abroad - the signature is valid for 12-months, regardless of the number of times you may depart and re-enter the U.S.
- Alumni on OPT/STEM OPT should obtain travel signatures every 6-months and may use the form below to submit a request for an updated I-20.
