Will my I-20/DS-2019 be express mailed to me?

Effective in 2023, all Forms I-20 (for F visa holders) or Forms DS-2019 (for J visa holders) can both be issued to and sent to students electronically (by email) to your MIT email address. It is no longer required that MIT send paper documents to students via regular or express mail.

Once students receive their Form I-20/DS-2019 via email, students will download, print, and “wet” sign the document for use. Students are reminded to keep and carry with them ALL Forms I-20 or Forms DS-2019 issued to them during their stay in the U.S. to be presented upon request at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate when applying for an entry visa, or upon entry to the U.S. to present to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

If any questions arise, please contact your MIT ISO Advisor.
