Travel to Canada, Mexico, and Contiguous Islands, excluding Cuba

  • I-20 must be endorsed for reentry to the U.S.

  • Check with the Mexican, Canadian or island embassy to determine if you will need a visa to enter that country www.embassy.org

  • If you are planning to apply for a U.S. visa, please check with an advisor in International Advising for the     current situation. Conditions change frequently.

  • If you are applying for a new visa stamp and if your current visa has expired, or has no more entries, you take a definite risk. In this case, if the U.S. consulate denies your visa application, you cannot use the automatic revalidation option. You will be stuck in that country, and will need to make plans to travel home from there.

  • If your visa has expired, and if you are NOT applying for a new visa stamp, and you will be in that country for 30 days or less, you may be eligible for the automatic visa revalidation. See the detailed information:  Link to handout on automatic extension

 

This means that you can reenter the U.S. with your expired visa stamp.
