H-1B Application Missing I-20

There’s a lot of fear, confusion, and misinformation floating around right now especially about what could get your application denied.

Let’s clear one big misconception:

If you’re an F-1 student missing one or two I-20s, it will NOT hurt your H-1B application. Many students go into panic mode over this, but missing an I-20 or two will not cause a denial.

However, like any other government document it’s your responsibility to keep track of all your I-20’s. It’s not your DSO or schools responsibility.
