IMMIGRATION MATTERS |
Summer Travel? Increased security measures at bordersReview your I-20 or DS-2019 to see if you need a new travel signature. If the U.S. visa stamp in your passport has expired, you will also be required to apply for an extension at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Review the documents necessary for re-entering the U.S. on the OGS website. Please note, due to increased security measures at borders, make sure you have all listed documents and expect longer wait times when passing through immigration. If you plan to have a connecting flight, we recommend you allow for extra time. |
