I-20 or DS-2019 Request Form available at

7. Then you may need to apply for and obtain a new F-1 visa stamp. To obtain the most up-to-date information

regarding whether or not you will need a new visa if your current F-1 visa is still valid and indicates “Northeastern

University” as your school, is to contact the U.S. embassy or consulate where you will apply for the visa if necessary

needed.

8. You may not return to the U.S. earlier than 30 days prior to the start date of your academic term since you are

returning with a new initial I-20.

complete this form.

10. Please note that returning to the U.S. with an initial I-20 may impact your eligibility for co-op (Curricular Practical

Training) or OPT (Optional Practical Training).
