Before you can apply for a US student visa (F-1), Cornell Tech must issue you a Form I-20. The I-20 is issued by Cornell Tech on behalf of Cornell University and Cornell Tech. You can learn more about the visa process and important immigration information from Cornell University’s Office of Global Learning
Please note that we only issue an I-20 after you have submitted your deposit.
