I-20 requests (Click to Expand)

Add New Dependent

If you would like to add a dependent (spouse or child under the age of 21) to your current F-1 Visa I-20 to accompany you in the United States, you will need to request I-20s for your dependents to obtain F-2 visas.

Change of Financial Support

If your sponsor changes while you are studying at Citrus College, you may request to update your I-20 to reflect your new sponsor's information. This is especially important if you plan to renew your visa!

Transfer Out

If you plan to transfer from Citrus College to another US school, you must complete this process to notify the International Student Center (ISC) of your intent to transfer. Upon submission of this request, we will update your SEVIS record, thereby giving the new school access to your record.

Dismissal Appeal

If you have been academically dismissed and want to appeal, in order to be allowed to continue studying at Citrus College, complete this request directly to General Counseling. Click HERE for more information.

Authorized Early Withdrawal (Terminate I-20)

If you need to return home and you want the ISC to end your I-20 so you do not have trouble returning to the US in the future, click the "Apply Now" button above to upload a copy of your plane ticket and answer a few questions about why you are returning home or ending your international student status.

I-20 Reprint/Digital Signature Request

If you lost, damaged, or updated your information on your current I-20, or you are traveling, you can request a newly signed version, either digital download or print out to pick up at the ISC front desk (SS 164) with a photo ID. *SEVP has confirmed that US Embassies/Consulates and Port of Entry will accept official emailed PDF I-20s with digital signatures.

I-20 Extension

A student must submit a Comprehensive SEP (Student Education Plan) from a counselor with classes listed to complete a program of study in future terms, past the End Date listed on the student's current I-20. NOTE:This request may not be processed if the extension request is due to being previously out of status, which caused a delay in completing one's program of study. If that is the reason, the correct procedure would be to apply for a Reinstatement Request with USCIS.

Reduced Course Load (RCL)

Immigration regulations require international students in F-1 status to register for and complete a full course load (12 units) in each fall and spring semester. A student who wishes to drop below a full course load must obtain the approval from the International Student Center (ISC) in advance. An F-1 student who drops below 12 units without prior approval from the ISC will lose lawful F-1 status.

SEVIS Reinstatement Request

Has your I-20 been Terminated or expired? Do you want to apply to USCIS to reinstate your current I-20 so you can continue studying at Citrus College?

Return on an Initial I-20 Request

If you are Out of Status, you do not qualify for a Reduced Course Load, and you cannot/or do not wish to apply for a Reinstatement Request, you can go home and request to return to Citrus College on a new initial I-20 to return in Active status. You can also request a new initial I-20 if your I-20 was terminated for an Authorized Early Withdrawal, due to COVID 19, and are now ready to reenter the US. You must reenter on a new initial I-20. If your current F-1 Visa has not yet expired, you can still use the old visa with the new I-20 to reenter the US.
