How long will my I-20 be issued for?
We issue degree level I-20s for three years. We must see that you have funding promised for the entire three years before we can issue the document. If you have studied at NOVA previously, we may issue the I-20 for a shorter period, based on how long we estimate it will take you to complete the requirements for your degree.
Can I transfer to another school in the U.S. after I complete the associate’s degree program?
Yes. Students may transfer to any school in the US that is approved to host F-1 students. NOVA has Guaranteed Admissions Agreements with over 50 colleges and universities in the US including George Mason University, the University of Virginia, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the College of William and Mary.
