    On the I-20, signature of parent or guardian and student is only needed if the student is under 18. If you are above 18 both student and parent signature is not needed.

    Congratulations on your masters and visa approval ! I dropped my documents at the Hyderabad vac on August 19th. I have an existing B1/B2 visa. I’ve traveled a few times on it - one trip for > 3 months, 2 other times for around 5 months each. Never exceeded the 6 month limit. I’m not sure if long periods of travel are considered bad by visa appointments officers. I’m a bit nervous that I’ll get called for interview. If you don’t mind me asking, did you have prior travel history?
    Thanks in advance
