I-20

A form the school issues once it has admitted your child and confirmed you can pay. Your child needs it to apply for the student visa.

Why it matters

Without the I-20 there is no visa appointment. Schools issue it after the enrollment deposit, so the deposit date sets your visa timeline.

Who decides

The school issues it, as a government-certified institution.

Nothing published mentions this term yet. As articles, guides and news are tagged with it, they will appear here.

Not sure what this means for your child?

A GESP consultant can explain the term in the context of your family's own plan.
