I-20/DS-2019 REQUEST FORM FOR RETURNING IIT STUDENTS

Purpose of this form:
This request form is for students who need a new I-2/DS-2019 0 to resume study at IIT. It should be completed and returned to our office with other required documentation as soon as possible so that we may issue the new I-20/DS-2019. Due to delays in visa processing overseas, please submit the form to our office at least 3 months in advance of the term you wish to resume studies. Visa appointments, if required, should not be scheduled until you have received your new I-20/DS-2019.

Points to Note:
• Deferrals for students planning on returning after LOA: The International Center must be notified of any deferrals within 30 days of the program start date to ensure compliance with immigration regulations.

If you do not check-in within that time, your SEVIS record will be cancelled or terminated. Additionally, you must notify the appropriate academic offices (Example: Graduate or Undergraduate Affairs)
