First, you will need to re-enroll in the university and/or register for courses. To re-enroll, fill out and submit this form to the 注册商’s Office at 阿宾顿 first. ISSA不会 发I-20, if you are not eligible to return to Penn State for the term you are requesting.

一旦新的I-20被签发, you will have to pay the I-901 fee (SEVIS fee) for the new document, pay express mail so we can ship it to you, and complete the Immigration Document Check-In in iStart.
