I understand that my application will not be reviewed if I do not submit 1) an original bank letter and/or employer letter; 2) International Student Financial Statement (ISFS); 3) copy of my I-94; and 4) copies of all previous I-20s. If I am currently studying in the U.S. on an I-20, I also must submit the International Student Advisor's Report (ISAR). NOTE: This information must be dated no earlier than nine months prior to the semester for which I am applying.

I have been admitted to Rutgers.

I have accepted Rutgers' offer of admission by submitting the Admission Acknowledgment Form and indicated that I will need an I-20 because I will hold a student (F-1) visa.

I have paid the Department of Homeland Security $100 fee and obtained a payment receipt BEFORE applying for a visa. 

I have paid the U.S. $125 acceptance fee to secure my place at Rutgers (I understand that admission will be withdrawn if not paid).

I have submitted original financial documents and I will submit updated financial documentation if requested by the admissions office so that an I-20 can be issued.This information is dated no earlier than nine months prior to the semester for which I am applying.

I and my sponsor have completed and signed the International International Student Financial Statement (ISFS).

I have determined that the amount in my sponsor's account is sufficient for support for 2006-2007.

I have reported all financial information in U.S. dollars.

I have submitted documents that show that the bank account on the bank letter belongs to the sponsor listed on the International Student Financial Statement (ISFS).

I have attached a note to the bank letter with my name and ID# if my name is not mentioned in the text of the letter. This will assure that the letter is filed with my documents.

I have completed all information on my application, International Student Advisor's Report (ISAR), and International Student Financial Statement (ISFS).

I have made certain that my name, as it appears on my passport, appears the same way on my International Student Financial Statement (ISFS).

I have made certain that my birth date and other requested information is correctly written on the International Student Financial Statement (ISFS).

I understand that duplicate I-20s will not be issued.

I understand that I-20 packets are sent AIRMAIL.

I understand that I should submit my supporting financial documents with my application.

I understand that faxed financial documents or photocopies of financial documents will not be accepted and will delay review of my application.

I understand that to ensure I receive my I-20 in time, I must apply and submit ALL necessary credentials by the priority application date.

As a student registered in SEVIS, I understand that my I-20 will not be issued until my SEVIS release date. If I do not understand this, I will speak with my current International Student Advisor for explanation and details.

I understand that questions related to the issuance of I-20s should be directed to the admissions I-20 officer for my regional campus at Rutgers University.
