S3 Q&A What documents will the I-20 need?
Usually your passport, financial proof (an official statement under three months old at the school's required amount, plus a sponsor affidavit if someone else's funds are used), and - if you're in the US - your I-94 and your current I-20 or EAD. Transfer students also need the school's transfer-in form signed by their current DSO, and dependents' passports are needed if family will join you on F-2. Tell me your school and I'll give you its exact list.
