The ISO, and most MIT offices, will be closed for a holiday break on Monday, December 25, 2023 through Monday, January 1, 2024.
The ISO will close beginning at 3:00pm on Friday, December 22 and will re-open for walk-in office hours at 10:00am on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

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/).
Please be reminded that the ISO has extensive resources online, so we encourage students to review the ISO website (https://iso.mit.edu) for information and guidance, including:
Visas and Travel resources: https://iso.mit.edu/visas-and-travel/

If you have an urgent/emergency situation that cannot wait until the office re-opens on Tuesday, January 2, 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.
Wishing you a great remainder of the Fall semester and best wishes for a very Happy Holidays and a wonderful Winter Break!
