The Harvard International Office will be closed starting December 22 through January 1 for winter break. We will re-open on January 2. Please plan accordingly as the HIO will not be processing documents or providing services during this time.  A travel signature is needed for your return to the U.S., not for leaving the country.  If you have left the U.S. and are in need of a travel signature, F-1 students as well as J-1 students and scholars may request a travel signature to be sent via email by completing the Travel Signature Request Form. We will process these requests after January 1. 
We wish everyone a restful and relaxing break. We look forward to serving you again starting January 2. Happy Holidays!
