How to Request Initial I-20 or DS-2019
Once you accept admission from Stanford, we will send you an invitation to the Bechtel Connect portal via email. Check your email inbox and click the link to Bechtel Connect.
You need to log into the portal with your SUNet ID and password. You will be directed to “I-20 or DS-2019 Request Information” page. Read the instructions carefully.
Immigration Status: If you are currently in the U.S. and are transferring your existing SEVIS ID to Stanford from your current school, click the Transfer In button and answer the questions.
Personal & Program: Confirm which visa document type you are requesting: F-1 I-20 or J-1 DS-2019.
Upload a copy of your passport biographic page.
Upload your admission letter.
Financial Details: Please read the instructions carefully and upload your funding documents. If you are receiving funding from Stanford University, please upload the admission letter that contains the funding information. It’s not necessary for the letter to specify an exact amount. As long as the letter states that the school is responsible for the program expenses, we can accept it as a funding document.
