Also called Form I-20, SEVIS

What is an I-20?

The I-20 is the certificate of eligibility a US university issues to an admitted international student, confirming the programme, its cost and your funding. You need it to pay the SEVIS fee, to book an F-1 visa interview, and to enter the United States.

Every F-1 visa applicant to a US institution.

Common mistakes

  • Booking the visa interview before the I-20 arrives
  • Funding figures on the I-20 that your bank documents cannot support

Writing the document, not just collecting it?

Statements of purpose, personal statements, academic CVs and letters of explanation, written from a consultant-verified profile with you.
