Can I enter the U.S. on an F-1 visa after the school start date indicated on the I-20?

I received my I-20 a little late because of mailing problems and now there’s a possibility I might have to wait until a few days after the school start date (the date indicated on the I-20) to enter the U.S.

Most likely the Port of Entry will allow you in late. You might try requesting something from the school acknowledging that you will be arriving a little late. Are you already registered for classes? You might want to bring a copy of your course schedule along with your passport and I-20 when you arrive.

My advice is contact your international student adviser and ask them for some advice. They maybe be able to help contact your professors to let them know that you will be arriving late for the semester.

Best wishes!
