<p>Hello! </p>
<p>I got admitted to a university. The head tennis coach (got an athletic scholarship) contacted me, I didn't got an acceptance letter from the university. </p>
<p>He will fax the I-20 to me? </p>
<p>Will they accept the I-20 in the consulate? </p>
<p>Do I really need the acceptance letter? If yes, can the coach fax it to me?</p>
<p>Thanks

<p>As far as I'm concerned, you're not admitted until you get a letter from the admissions office. Call them up.</p>
<p>Yeah get your coach to fax the acceptance letter to you.</p>
<p>My friend didn't hand in an acceptance letter in his interview (he forgot) but he still got approved.</p>
<p>I'm sure the consulate will accept the faxed I-20.. ?? I think..
There's this barcorde in the right side of page 1, and some big barcode on page 3 (i think) that the consulate scans.. so if the fax doesnt come through accurately (because sometimes, they come out slightly skewed), you might find yourself in a difficult position..</p>
<p>Or just ask your coach to send the I-20 by FedEx..</p>
<p>Consulates know that schools only send 1-20s to admitted students. My brother went last year. His school's decision was online and the physical letter came in really late. He just had the 1-20. Yes tell your coach to fed-ex that right away.</p>
