In order to register as students, Stanford University requires that all those who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. registered permanent residents must obtain and maintain an appropriate visa status for their stay in the United States. The types of student visas sponsored by Stanford include the following:
The Certificate of Eligibility (I-20/DS-2019) is issued to an admitted student after receipt of certification of adequate financial support. An F-1 student transferring from another U.S. school must obtain a new I-20 document from Stanford and complete a transfer process at the Bechtel International Center no later than 15 days after the effective date of the transfer. A J-1 student transferring from another U.S. school must obtain a new DS-2019 document from Stanford and complete a transfer process at the Bechtel International Center no later than 30 days after the effective date of the transfer.
Information on visas is sent to admitted graduate students in the Welcome to Stanford guide, mailed by Graduate Admissions, Office of the University Registrar. Information on visas for postdoctoral scholars and Visiting Student Researchers is available at the Bechtel International Center web site http://stanford.edu/dept/icenter.
