Transfer F-1 Visa Students

Foreign nationals who are currently in the United States on an F-1 visa issued by another institution, wishing either to transfer to USF to complete their degree or to enter a new degree seeking program, are considered transfer F-1 Visa applicants.

If you are a current F-1 visa holder from another institution, you must do the following in order for USF to issue an I-20:

apply to and be accepted to a degree-seeking program at the University, such as a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degree
provide proof of sufficient financial resources to fund a full-time course of study at the University (see Financial Support Requirements Form for complete information)
request your current academic institution to release your records in the SEVIS database

For further assistance with the application process and information specific to your country, please contact your local U.S. Embassy/U.S. Consulate/Office of Public Affairs for referral to an overseas educational advising center near you, or consult the list available on the U.S. Department of State’s website.
