CAN I TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WHILE I AM A STUDENT AT LETOURNEAU?

Maybe. While you are in F-1 status, you may be permitted to leave the U.S. and re-enter in F-1 status if you present the following:

• A SEVIS Form I-20, endorsed for travel and signed by your DSO
• You have been out of the United States for less than five months
• A current passport valid for at least six months after the date of your reentry or, if you are from one of the countries listed at this website, a passport that is current through the date of entry
• A valid, current visa or you traveled to contiguous country or adjacent island for less than thirty days
• Financial information showing proof of necessary funds to cover tuition and living expenses

Bringing your most recent I-94, Departure Card, will facilitate your reentry, if reentering through a land POE. If you are flying, the airline will collect your I-94 prior to departure and you will complete a new one upon reentry.

For more information regarding travel outside of the United States, please visit ICE, the United States Immigration website.
