    Need a Signature or a New Form?: If you have left the U.S. and are now realizing that you do not have a valid travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019, or you forgot your I-20 / DS-2019 altogether, we can send you a new copy of your current form with an updated travel signature whereever you are in the world. Please fill in the form below and click on the submit button.

    Regular Mail or Fed-X: We will send you your new form by regular mail on the next business day after you submit this form. If you want us to federal express the form to you, you will have to call us on the next business day and give us your credit card information over the phone: (607) 255-5243. We cannot charge your bursar account for federal express charges.

    Not Enough Time!: If you are traveling back to the U.S. too soon for us to get a new form to you (faxed and scanned forms are not legal documents so we cannot get them to you that way), don't panic! When you reach the port of entry, explain to the port of entry officer that you forgot your I-20 or DS-2019, and can the officer please let you in to the U.S. with an "I-515." The "I-515" will allow you entry in to the U.S. in F-1 or J-1 status for 30 days. If you get an I-515 at the port, come in to the ISSO once you arrive back in Ithaca and we will help you complete the requirements.
