On 4 June 2019, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) published a policy guidance document on Form I-20 Issuance and School Use of Recruiters. This new policy guidance clarifies that for reasons of privacy, security and fraud prevention, the Form I-20, “Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Students”, must be issued directly by SEVP-certified schools to non-immigrant students, their dependants or, for minors, their parent or guardian.
