<p>unlike other schools, I did not notice columbia sending out a form regarding I-20 requests. does anyone know if they will automatically issue them or do we need to request them? if so where?</p>
<p>I've been through the isso site and found nothin helpful at all.</p>
<p>i have a similar question</p>
<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>i need to know too</p>
<p>What's an I-20 request? I'm just a curious cat.</p>
<p>its the form issued by the school institutions which international students need to get their Student visas.</p>
<p>OH. I see. cool. thanks.</p>
<p>It is on the isso website (they've also got this excellent pdf file for new international students - click on Incoming Students and Scholars). However, I think you should have gotten a notice about it in the admitted student package, titled 'International Students and Scholars'.</p>
<p>Anyway, information for visa application is at
<a href="https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/isso/ay0607/%5B/url%5D">https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/isso/ay0607/</a>
and the specific page about I-20 request is at
<a href="https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/isso/ay0607/avc_instruct.html%5B/url%5D">https://www1.columbia.edu/sec/cu/isso/ay0607/avc_instruct.html</a></p>
<p>I hope that helps...</p>
<p>I have a question myself about visa application... I'm not sure how to word this exactly, it might be a bit of a dumb question, but:</p>
<p>Regarding financial documentation, what exactly is a 'letter from the bank'? Is that just a bank statement? Or an actual letter?</p>
