O-1 Travel

​Travel, whether for personal or professional reasons, can be an exciting adventure or a stressful challenge. So before you catch an airplane to speak at a conference, book reservations for your perfect vacation, or take a trip home to visit family, make sure that you consider the immigration side of traveling and find the answers to your questions ahead of time. Use the resources on this page to learn the correct documents you will need to reenter the United States and to make sure you are up to date on recent updates, such as the current I-94 form. Please contact DIS several weeks before traveling if you have any travel-related questions so that we can help your traveling experience go as smoothly as possible.​​​
