IMMIGRATION UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Travel Signature DaysThe end of the year is approaching fast! Are you going home for the summer? Will you be working or doing research outside the U.S.? Are you embarking on a wonderful study abroad program? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you will need a travel signature before you leave the country! ISSP is hosting “Travel Document Signing Days.” Do not forget that you are required to have appropriate signatures and checking of your immigration documents before you leave the U.S. Visit our office in the North Decatur Building, Suite 130 located at 1784 North Decatur Road. April 27th 9:00 am- 4:00 pm The Designated School Officials and Responsible Officers will be on hand on these days to sign your I-20 (F-1s) or DS-2019 (J-1s) and advise you on travel requirements. Bring your I-20 or DS-2019, passport/visa and I-94 card for inspection. If you do not bring all three of these documents, you will be asked to come back at a time when you have all three in your possession. If you are a F-1 or J-1 student, you may go to the Student section of our website. Select either F-1 or J-1 student and under the topics covered, select “Traveling Outside the U.S.” That page will provide you all the information you need to know before departing the U.S. Make certain that you have either your I-20 (if an F-1 student) signed by a Designated School Official in the ISSP office or your DS-2019 (if a J-1 student) signed by an Alternate Responsible Officer in the ISSP office before departing the U.S. Further travel information specific to Emory students and scholars can be located on our website at www.emory.edu/ISSP. If you are a J-1 Research Scholar, Professor, Specialist, or Short-term Scholar and are in possession of a DS-2019 issued by Emory University, visit ISSP website's J-1 scholar section. You will find all the information you need to travel safely. Remember that you will require a signature on your DS-2019 signed by an Alternate Responsible Officer in the ISSP office before you depart the U.S. If you are an H-1B temporary worker, visit the ISSP website's H-1B scholar section. There you will find a printable checklist that you can use in gathering the necessary documentation for traveling abroad.

Happy travels this summer and we look forward to seeing you this fall! Sincerely, |
