I20 & Checklist

What is Form I20:
Form I-20 is a United States Department of Homeland Security document issued by colleges, universities, and vocational schools that provides supporting information for the issuance of a student visa or change of status (F, J and M non-immigrant statuses). Since the introduction of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), the form also includes the student tracking number (SEVIS number) for the student and program.

How long does it take to issue an I20?
HGU issues I-20 in 3 business days. The following is the checklist of documents to be provided to US Embassy/US Immigration office along with I-20 issued by our school.
