In-Absentia Status In-Absentia is Princeton registration status conferred by the Graduate School. For more information about the In Absentia status, please refer to the Graduate School website and the Graduate School Announcement. To determine if you are eligible for In Absentia status, you should discuss your particular situation with your department and the Graduate School. In Absentia is NOT an immigration status. Impact of In Absentia Status on F-1/J-1 immigration status If you are enrolled In Absentia, you will continue to be in F-1/J-1 student status. If you remain in the U.S. while In Absentia, you must continue to maintain your F-1/J-1 status. If you are In Absentia status and are outside of the U.S., you need to make sure that you have the appropriate and valid documents before returning to the U.S. If your F-1/J-1 visa has expired, you will need to apply for a new visa in the U.S. Embassy/Consulate abroad. Click here for more information on how to apply for a new F-1/J-1 visa. In order to re-enter the U.S., you will also need to have a valid travel signature on your I-20/DS-2019. You should get a new signature each academic year. If you need a new travel signature, please mail your I-20/DS-2019 to the Office of Visa Services. Our address is 120 Alexander Street, 2nd Floor, Princeton, NJ, 08544
