<p>My friend just left for the U.S. without I-20. Since he has F-1 visa, I-20 is necessary for him to enter to the U.S.. Is there no way for him to enter to the U.S. as a traveler and stay here until his I-20 will be delivered?</p>
<p>The college can print a new I-20 at any time. I’d suggest he call the international student adviser at his college and ask them how to proceed.</p>
<p>Thank you for your post. After he called his guardian, he solved this issue. Since I thought he would have to go to his country to get the original one, I was quite worried about it.</p>
