Application Process

Request to Re-Issue the I-20 Form Due to Error

Applicants who choose to study abroad in the United States will be issued an I-20 form by their admissions office once all required documents have been submitted and processed. An I-20 form is an important document for international students in order to acquire a valid student visa from their home country’s Embassy or Consulate. Once applicants receive their I-20 form from their program, it is essential to check its contents for any possible mistakes. If revisions are required, applicants must contact their admissions office as soon as possible by email. When informing schools of a revision, provide the admissions office with the applicant’s full name, the date applied to the program and the course starting date to facilitate a quicker response. Clearly state the mistake currently on the I-20 form, the correction to be made and, then, request a new I-20 form.

Please correct my name, issue a new Form I-20 and send it by express mail to the following mailing address as soon as possible:
