Obtaining an I-20
An I-20 is a certificate of eligibility for F-1 visa status. Marymount University issues the I-20 for admitted students who submit the following items:
- a completed International Student Supplemental Information (ISSI) form and the Declaration of Finances form.
- an enrollment deposit to reserve a space at Marymount (This deposit is credited to the student’s account. The deposit must be in the form of a check drawn on U.S.-based branches of U.S. banks in U.S. dollars, or with a valid credit card. A nonrefundable deposit of $300 is required for both commuter and residential students.)
- a legible photocopy of passport ID pages
- a valid international address
- an official original bank statement showing sufficient funding in U.S. dollars for one year of study, as outlined on the current ISSI form (This statement must be signed and stamped by a bank official and dated no earlier than six months prior to the issuing of the I-20.)
Students currently enrolled in a U.S. high school or university must submit the following additional items:
Marymount University will cover the cost of shipping the initial I-20. International students are responsible for all subsequent I-20 shipping fees unless an error was made by the university. If a student requires an updated I-20 due to deferral, errors in documentation submitted, or electronically approving an I-20 with errors, the student will be required to cover the cost of shipping an updated I-20 through https://study.eshipglobal.com/default.asp. Shipping costs for updated I-20s due to a visa denial will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
