What is I-20 Form?
The I-20 Form is a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) form which is completed by educational institutions approved by the USCIS to admit international students for full-time, post-secondary studies. The I-20 Form certifies that an international applicant plans to pursue a full course of full-time study at a USCIS approved educational institution in the United States and that they are both academically and financially qualified to do so. This form is required by U.S. embassies from international applicants who are applying for a visa to enter the U.S. as full-time students. The I-20 Form must also be presented to the USCIS officer upon entry into the U. S.; therefore, during your trip to the U.S., you should always keep your I-20 Form close and ready for control.
