What is an I-20 and how important is it?
• A Form I-20 is a government form that states to the U.S. government that a student is eligible for F-1 Student Status. It certifies that (1) he/she is a “bona fide” student; 2) the student meets our admissions requirements; (3) the student will pursue a full course of study; (4) the student has sufficient finances to pursue his/her studies in the U.S. without working illegally or suffering from poverty.
