Early June - I-20 Information for International Students

International students should schedule their visa interviews as soon as possible. Until further notice, your I-20 will be sent to you via email, in early June. Please let us know what date your visa interview is scheduled for so that we can determine when we will be able to send your I-20. It is imperitive that you do not forward the document to anyone as it then becomes invalid. Please remember that the name on your I-20 must match the name on your passport. If you provided a different name on your application, and the name on your enrollment contract does not match the name on your passport, or you believe other information on the I-20 is in error please contact us at admission@stmarksschool.org so that we can issue your I-20 with the correct information.

NOTE: We are in close contact with SEVP and we will let you know as soon as possible if any of this information changes.

If you are an international student already on an I-20 and attending a school in the United States, it is the responsibility of your current school to transfer your I-20 to St. Mark’s. For transfer purposes, our SEVIS id# is BOS214F00314000.
