(代Po)寄信去问要上hybrid mode, AIT面试到底需不需要带更新的 I-20，因为前几天还
是很模糊。根据这封信还有前几篇文章的留言回报，AIT面试应该是拿旧的I20就好了
Q:
Hello,
I am a student who planned to enroll in the hybrid modality in the fall
semester of the University of XXXXXXX. I keen to know you about the
obligation of updating my I-20 form, which I got it before July.
There was a policy released by SEVP on July 6th that said all students need
to update their I-20, so I kindly want to ask you to help me with confirming
this information.
If there is any additional document that I should bring to F-1 visa interview
to support my academy, please fell free to contact me.
The following attachment is my current I-20(旧的), feel free to refer to the
details.
A:
Dear Mr./Ms.,
Thank you for writing to the U.S. Visa Service Desk.
The new guidance for F, M, and certain J (alien physician, government
visitor, international visitor professor, research scholar, short-term
research scholar, specialist, secondary school student and college/university
student)visas, which was released on July 6, 2020, allows the Embassy and the
Consulate to issue student visas to those whose academic programs will not be
100 percent online.
If your program will be 100 percent online, you will not be eligible for a
visa at this time.
If your program is not 100 percent online, please contact your Designated
School Official (DSO) to make sure your electronic SEVIS record has been
updated with remarks stating clearly that your intended course of study is “
not 100% online.” You do not need a new I-20; the Embassy and the Consulate
can issue/renew your visa as long as your online SEVIS record related to your
I-20 has been updated with the above remarks, even when your paper I-20 has
not been updated yet. By the time of your visa interview appointment, if your
DSO has not updated the SEVIS record yet, then you can bring any documents
provided by your school that could prove your program is not 100% online to
the interview. At that time, the Consular Officer will review all of the
documents and make a final decision.
We hope this information is helpful to you.
