Important Reminders

  • Before transferring, confirm the transfer timeline, SEVIS Transfer Release Date, and I-20 procedures with both schools’ International Student Offices.
  • If you plan to travel outside the United States during the transfer process, contact the International Student Office in advance to confirm which I-20 to use.

  • After the transfer is completed, the SEVIS record generally cannot be transferred to another school. Confirm your decision before the release date.
