You can request a travel signature through MyISSS.
If you are an F-1 student, you should complete the Travel Signature / I-20 Reprint Request form in the F-1 Student Services section of MyISSS. After your request has been processed, you will receive your I-20 with a travel signature electronically via email. The Student & Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has stated that Designated School Officials (DSO - the ISSS specialists) are permitted to digitally sign I-20s and email those I-20s to students. You should receive your I-20 in your CU Denver or CU Anschutz inbox within 10 business days of submitting your complete request.
If you are a J-1 student, you should complete the Travel Signature / DS-2019 Reprint Request form in the J-1 Student Services section of MyISSS. Unfortunately, J-1 students must receive physical, paper copies of their DS-2019s. You will receive an email when your DS-2019 is available for pickup at ISSS. You can also request to have your DS-2019 mailed to you. Please be prepared to pay for express shipping. Your DS-2019 with a travel signature will be available for pickup or processed for shipment within 10 business days of requesting the travel signature.
Please note that our request processing time is up to ten business days to issue the I-20/DS-2019 and travel signature. This ten-day processing time is for ISSS processes.
My F-1/J-1 student visa has expired or will expire soon. Do I need to renew it?
If you leave the United States and then plan to re-enter, you will need to renew your F-1 or J-1 visa before you can re-enter the U.S. If you plan to remain in the U.S. then you do NOT need to renew your F-1 or J-1 visa; your valid I-20 or DS-2019, along with your valid passport and I-94, prove your valid status in the U.S. You cannot renew your visa while remaining in the U.S.
Be mindful that many U.S. Embassies and Consulates may have limited operations and/or may not be providing visa/consular services at this time. We recommend reviewing the U.S. Department of State COVID-19 Country Specific Information page and the announcement on the Suspension of Routine Visa Services.
