In order to enter the United States
to study, an international student will need a visa, usually
an F-1 Student Visa. When applying for an F-1 visa, the applicant
must submit a valid Form I-20 Certificate of Eligibility to the United States Embassy or
Consulate in his or her country. In addition to these forms,
the applicant will have to present a passport and evidence of
financial support.
Boston University requires the following information to prepare
a Form I-20:
- Name—first and last (exactly as it appears on your
passport)
- Address (foreign home address)
- Mailing address (if different from home address)
- Country of citizenship
- Country of birth
- Copy of passport (pages with biographical information
only)
- SEVIS number (if currently studying in the United States)
- Copy of current I-20 (if currently studying in the United
States)
Boston University will send the I-20 Form to the applicant after
he or she has gained admission and has submitted evidence of
financial support.
Boston University has one of the largest international student
populations of any University in the United States and remains
committed to welcoming students from all over the world.
If you have any questions about the information above, please
contact us.

Application Tips. For more information on U.S. Embassies
and Consulates and on the visa application process, please visit
the U.S. Department
of State website. If you are currently in the United States
on an F-1 student visa, an Eligibility
