- Outside the U.S.: After getting an I-20 from a school, an
international student should make an appointment to apply for an
F-1 visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Students must present
both the F-1 visa & the I-20 to a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection officer upon arrival at the U.S. port-of-entry.
- Inside the U.S.: Once a student has arrived in the US & passes
through the border examination process (either at an airport,
seaport, or land border), the I-20 is employed as identification &
proof of legal and academic status. Generally, students must
show their I-20 at the Social Security Office and the Department
of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The I-20 is also shown to employers in
the hiring process for employment.
