Form I-20 Request

Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) is a document issued by US schools certified by SEVP to enroll international students. Students need an I-20 to apply for F-1 student visas and enter the US as students. To receive an I-20, students must: apply and be accepted to a SEVP-certified school, demonstrate financial ability to cover tuition and living expenses, and provide required documents. The I-20 includes: student information, school information, program details, estimated costs, and financial support evidence. Students must pay the SEVIS fee using the I-20 information before visa interview. The I-20 is required throughout study in the US - students must maintain it in valid status. Changes to program, address, or financial information require I-20 updates. After completing studies, students have a grace period before departing or changing status. The I-20 system helps track international students and ensure they maintain status during their studies.
