The Office of International Students & Scholars is here to support all Rice internationals and the Academic Departments with all matters related to immigration, international compliance, and cultural adaptation.
Please remember that whenever you travel internationally, you must have a valid travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019! If your travel signature is older than 6 months, or you don't have one at all, be sure to visit OISS with your passport and most recent I-20 or DS-2019. OISS will be offering a few times when you will be able to get your travel signature done while you wait. Please note that outside of these times, the normal one day processing time applies.
Here are the times for the on-the-spot travel signature sessions:
Thursday, 4/18, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Monday, 4/22, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Tuesday, 4/23, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m.
Friday, 4/26, 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Tuesday, 4/30, 2:30 - 4:30 p.m.
