Submit the documents.
You will need to submit various documents to MILA, such as your SEVIS identification number (located on the I-20 form) and any other necessary documents. It is a simple process. Contact us for more information.
Receive the new I-20 form.
MILA will issue a new I-20 form once they receive your documents and SEVIS record. This new I-20 form will indicate that you are enrolled in the new program at MILA.
Maintain F1 visa status.
It is important to maintain the status of your F1 visa during the transfer process. This means you must continue attending your current school until the transfer is completed and maintain full-time enrollment at MILA after the transfer is done. Make sure to meet all the necessary deadlines to transfer your F1 visa to MILA.
Attend the orientation.
After receiving the new I-20 form from MILA, you should attend an orientation session at the school. This will help you familiarize yourself with the campus, administrative and academic departments, meet other students, and learn about any resources available to you as an international student.
