In case you missed it, we wanted to share it here:

Dear International Students,

UMBC’s Center for Global Engagement wishes to remind all international students planning winter break travel to review the travel reminders that apply to enrolled F-1 students and students pursuing post-graduation OPT or STEM OPT. Specifically, be sure to check that you have a travel endorsement on page 2 of your Form I-20 that will still be valid on the date you return to the U.S. And be sure to check the expiration date of your F-1 visa to be sure it will be valid on the date you plan to return.

 

Additionally, we wish to address concerns we have heard related to several news outlets reporting that some universitiesare sharing special guidance with international students and employees planning to travel over the winter break. Specifically, these universities are advising travelers to consider returning to the U.S. prior to the presidential inauguration on January 20, 2025, in order to avoid the impacts of any executive actions taken by the incoming Trump administration that could impact travel. 

 

To be clear, President-elect Trump and members of his transition team have not issued any official announcements regarding forthcoming policy changes that would directly impact international students, faculty, and staff. However, as is the case with all presidential transitions, a new administration will lead to personnel changes within government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of State. These changes could result in longer wait times for visa issuance or renewal. Additionally, executive actions taken by a new administration can result in immediate changes to policies, but such changes must be consistent with existing law. 

 

All international students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to consider these factors in finalizing any potential travel plans for the winter break. Ultimately, your travel plans are yours to make, and you should feel free to arrange them as you see fit. 

 

Please continue to monitor your UMBC email account closely for important messages from the Center for Global Engagement, as that is the official means by which we will alert you of any actual changes in immigration policy as well as immediate actions to be taken. Additionally, these emails will include links to updated guidance on our website.

 

Should you have any questions about your individual travel plans, please feel free to contact our advising staff. We wish safe travels to those choosing to travel during the winter break, and we hope that all members of our community have a chance to rest and recharge before the Spring 2025 semester begins.


Best,

The ISSS Team
