The Form I-20 is the primary document to show that you have been admitted to school in the United States and that you are authorized to apply for an F-1 visa. You must have your Form I-20 with you at all times, especially when you travel to and from the U.S. 如果您丢失或损坏了I-20表格, you must request a replacement from the 全球参与办公室.
I-20表格第1页
第1节- SEVIS ID & 个人信息
- Gives you your Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) ID number. Your SEVIS record and ID number is like a backpack – if you transfer schools or change your education level, 您的SEVIS记录将随您而去. 除非你的记录终止或者学业中断, you will have the same SEVIS number for the duration of your studies in the U.S.
- Please review this section carefully to check for any discrepancies. The name on your I-20 should match the name that is listed in your passport.
- “录取号码”总是空白的.
- Preferred name, passport name, and legacy name may be left blank – they are not required by USCIS.
第二部分-学校信息
This section includes the school name, address, and school official information. You can use the information in this section while filling out the DS-160.
学校地址
街道:1正常大道
城市:十大博彩推荐排名
州名:新泽西州
邮政编码:07043
学校代码: NEW214F01039000
第三部分-学习计划
- This section includes information about your level of education (Bachelor’s, 硕士或博士学位), 你的专业和相应的CIP代码, 以及程序的开始日期和结束日期.
- 如果这些信息在任何时候发生变化(i.e. you change your major, need extra time to complete your program, etc.) you must contact the 全球参与办公室 to update your I-20.
什么是CIP代码?
The Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code is defined by the U.S. Department of Education and will correspond with your major at 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学.
请注意: 有时, the CIP code name is different from your 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 major name because the CIP codes categorize majors at universities across the entire United States. It is OK if the major and CIP code on your I-20 doesn’t exactly match the name of your program. 例如, the MS in Business Analytics at Montclair will appear as Management Science on the I-20 because the CIP code is 52.1301. 这不会影响你获得签证的能力.

第4部分-财务
The left-hand column has the breakdown of the cost for 一年’s attendance at 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学. The right-hand column lists the funding information that you provided to 十大博彩推荐排名州立大学 on your I-20 application. 你的资金将永远与出席费用相匹配. 例如, 如果你每年的学费是47美元,822美元, 你的资金也会被列为47美元,822美元, 即使你的担保人承诺的不止这些. Department of Homeland Security regulations state that a student only has to show proof of funding for the length of a single academic year.
For students who submit an affidavit of free room and board – we will list the person who is promising you free accommodation as another financial sponsor. We will list in the I-20 remarks section that this person will be providing free room and board. I-20表上列出的费用是估算的, 这并不一定是你将被收取的金额. We can never fully remove the cost of living from the expenses on the I-20. 如果你不住在学校, 生活费用不会出现在你的大学账单上, but it must be listed on the I-20 as all students have to demonstrate to the Department of Homeland Security that they can afford to attend school and live in the U.S.
对于有多个担保人的学生: Generally only one sponsor can be seen on the funding line of the I-20. Do not worry, all sponsors are listed, you just cannot see them. Anyone who looks in SEVIS (including a visa officer) will be able to see all sponsors. If a student has multiple sponsors, all sponsors will also be listed under the remarks section.
第5部分-学校和学生证明
