If you are a new international student accepted to the VISIT Cal Poly program, please complete the Visa Information Form for VISIT Students to request your I-20 to apply for an F-1 student visa. Please only submit this form after you have been accepted the VISIT Cal Poly program. This form provides information and documents that the International Students and Scholars office needs to issue your I-20.
Students applying for a change to F-1 visa from another visa type while remaining in the USA should consult with an International Student Advisor to decide if this is the best option for you. Note that approval may take six (6) months or longer.
