I-20s and DS-2019s are documents that you need to schedule a visa interview. They list your personal information and certify that you have the funds to cover the cost of attendance. For an I-20 or DS-2019 to be created, you must provide a copy of your passport biographic page and financial documents. A list of how much you need to prove and which financial documents are acceptable can be found on our financial documentation page.
