ISO Closed on Thursday-Friday, November 23-24, 2023 for Thanksgiving Holiday

The ISO, and most MIT offices, will be closed on Thursday, November 23 and Friday, November 24, 2023 in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday. Veterans’ Day. The ISO will close to walk-ins beginning at 3:00pm on Wednesday, November 22, and will re-open for walk-ins on Monday, November 27 at 10:00am.

ISO Staff will continue to monitor the main ISO email account (iso-help@mit.edu) and will check phone messages to the ISO main phoneline (617-253-3795).

If you have an urgent/emergency situation that cannot wait until the office re-opens on Monday, November 27, you may call the ISO Emergency Phone Number (617-258-5480). The emergency phone line should especially be used if you are experiencing any travel issues at the U.S. ports-of-entry/U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

If you need to request a new Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 with a new travel signature, instructions on how to make the request in iMIT are listed on the ISO Visas and Travel webpage (https://iso.mit.edu/visas-and-travel/). New Forms I-20/DS-2019 generated by the ISO can be emailed to students.
