I-20 Extension

 

F-1 students who are unable to complete all of their degree requirements by the program end date listed on the Form I-20 may request for a program extension. I-20 extension requests must be made at least one month before the expiration date on the Form I-20.

Students May Request an I-20 Extension for the Following Reasons:

• Extended time to complete IEI

Eligibility Requirements

• You must have continually maintained legal status, to include keeping a valid, unexpired passport.
• You must provide proof of adequate funding to cover tuition and living expenses for the duration of the extension. 
• Extensions will be granted for a maximum of one year at a time. If additional time is needed, a second request may be submitted for the following year.
