Dear Student,

We hope this message finds you well.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the confirmed permission of the SEVP to issue electronic I-20s, IESC will produce electronic documents such as letters and I-20s. The electronic document is the official document that you may use for travel, consular process, and at any other official process of your concern.

If you have any pressing need to get the original I-20 form, please make sure to note the reason when completing the IESC request form, otherwise, you will receive the electronic I20. For original I20s, eShipGlobal will still be the mailing option. At this time, we recommend to opt for the electronic version to expedite the receipt of your I20.

Please continue to visit our Important Information for International Students during COVID-19. We will continue to keep you informed through this website as new information becomes available.

Regards,

IESC
