This is our second post in our obtaining a student visa to study in the USA series. Your can read our first post here.
What is the Form I-20 and How to Receive it?
All F-1 visa category (and M-1) students that study in the USA need a Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status". Once accepted into a Student and Exchange Visitor Program, international students will receive a Form I-20 from their designated school official (DSO). This will be one of the important Forms that you as the student should keep that safe as you will need it throughout your international student life.
Process to Obtain an I-20:
1:
- Receive an I-20 application from the School via Email.
- Complete, Print, and Sign the application.
- Recent Bank Statements from you or your sponsors showing that you are financially able to pay your school tuition, fees and life expenses for the years you plan on attending the school.
- Send a copy of your valid passport along with completed and signed I-20 application, and financial documents to designated school office (DSO) at the school you will be attending via Email.
