Applying for an I-20 Document

The I-20 form is a document issued by colleges to international students. The document verifies that the student has met necessary requirements to attend the college. It will be needed when you apply for a student (F-1) visa. To qualify for an I-20, you must submit to CCV:

  • I-20 Application Form
  • Affidavit of Support Form
    International students are required to study full-time and must demonstrate financial support that will allow them to do so. Yearly costs for tuition, fees, and living expenses are currently estimated at $17,600US. Applicants must provide bank statements showing this amount of support, and/or an affidavit from a sponsor who will provide some or all of this support.
  • TOEFL scores
    Because English language skills capable of supporting full-time student status are also needed, TOEFL scores - or CCV assessment scores for those already residing in Vermont - are required. Necessary scores are over 500 for a paper test, or over 172 for the online test (see www.ets.org/toefl/). Scores should be sent directly to CCV from the Educational Testing Service, the organization that administers the TOEFL. On your application for the test, use this code number for CCV, so that results will automatically be sent to us: 3286

When you have received your I-20 form from CCV, you may apply for a student F-1 visa.
