Issuance of I-20/DS-2019 and Important Dates

 

The United States government has strict regulations on the issuance of I-20s and DS-2019 documents to international students who wish to attend an educational institution in the US. The dates for issuance of an I-20/DS-2019, attendance at mandatory orientations, latest date to report to the appropriate International Student office and the final day to be enrolled full time are listed below. Arizona State University does not have the latitude to make exceptions to these dates. Any non-compliance with these dates may preclude the student from registering for classes. International students not enrolled full time will have their SEVIS record terminated and become subject to detainment and deportation.
