The Colburn School is pleased to make available FedEx and UPS for the mailing of immigration documents (I-20s) to students overseas who are applying for F-1 visas. To receive your I-20, you must make a request using eShip Global Shipment of your I-20 will be at your (the student’s) expense and must be paid via credit card through eShip Global’s secure website.
Please note that I-20s can be sent electronically via email, in accordance with current SEVP guidance. If you receive your I-20 electronically, you are responsible for printing a hard copy and signing it in ink. Electronic signatures are not permitted in the student attestation section of the form. Be sure to carry the printed and signed I-20 with you when applying for your visa and traveling to the U.S.
