If you are currently studying in the U.S. in F-1 or J-1 status and plan to attend UD, CGPS can help with the transfer of your F-1 or J-1 SEVIS record The SEVIS transfer process is separate from your admission to the University and can only begin after you have been admitted and have confirmed your intent to enroll.
After accepting your admission to UD, you will receive a link to the I-20/DS-2019 request form through your admissions portal. As part of that request, please provide information related to your current SEVIS record and your planned transfer to UD. CGPS will use this information to accept your SEVIS transfer record and issue the new I-20 or DS-2019. If you have questions about the transfer process, please contact CGPS for assistance.
