Students may submit most I-20s requests for review and processing online through the ISSS Portal. Click on the applicable section(s) below to review the information and submit your I-20 request online. After you submit a complete I-20 request, we will review the request for processing. If we need any clarifications, we will email you via your GatorLink account. Be sure to check your inbox and spam folders. Please allow 7-10 business days for review and processing. Some processes, such as OPT and STEM OPT Recommendation I-20 requests, may require additional time for review and processing. We are unable to assist with the OPT Recommendation and STEM OPT Recommendation I-20s until you are within 90 days prior to your program completion or OPT card expiration date, respectively.
You will receive an email when your I-20 is ready. We will issue the I-20 electronically and will either email it to you or upload it to your record in the ISSS portal and email you the instructions regarding how to download the I-20. You must then print the I-20 so that you have a printed paper document in hand whenever you need it. Also, make sure to sign your name and date in the Student Attestation section on page one of the I-20. We recommend that you print the I-20 in color and sign your name in blue ink. The printed I-20 can be used for your visa appointment with the US Embassy/Consulate, for travel to the U.S. (along with your valid F-1 visa and passport), to apply for a State ID or Driver’s License, etc.
