Getting the SEVIS I20

Financial Requirements

• TWU can prepare a SEVIS I-20 for international students because it complies with U.S. governmental regulations.
• A SEVIS I-20 is required to obtain a F1 student visa and to maintain your F1 status.
• Regulations require TWU to receive official certification verifying that sufficient funds are available for the 9-month academic year.  See estimated expenses below.
• Original documents are required.  (*Note:  TWU Office of International Education will accept scanned or faxed copies of financial documents but student is required to bring original documents during Orientation week when reporting to our office.)
