Allow three days for an advisor's signature on the I-20 or DS-2019. The receptionist at the OIE front desk will tell you when you may return to pick up the document. If you do not allow enough time for processing, you will be asked to leave a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we will mail the document to you when it is ready; you may also be charged a late fee.
