How to Receive Your UW Bothell I-20
To start processing your UW Bothell I-20, you need to submit the following 3 documents:
1. Sufficient Financial Support Documents
2. Passport ID page
3. Completed I-20 Request Form (including the I-20 Transfer Out Eligability section, if applicable)
How to Submit Your Documents to CIE
Undergraduate Students: Upload your documents onto your UW Bothell Application Status page at https://admissions.uwb.edu/account/login .
Graduate Students: Email your documents to uwbintl@uw.edu
When will I receive my UW Bothell I-20?
After we receive all required documentation from you and receive your I20 record from your current school (if applicable), please allow 2 - 3 business days for us to review and issue the I-20 for you. We will email you after the I20 has been issued and has been mailed to you (or available for pick-up).
Official High School Transcript: For those students who are required to submit an original high school transcript, your I-20 will only be issued after UWB receives your official transcript. Do not open the transcript, as once it is opened from the envelope it will not be considered an official transcript.
UW Bothell SEVIS School Code is: SEA214F00005000
