OIE Document Issuance Update for F-1 and J-1 Students

The Office of International Education (OIE) has recently launched a new feature to the MyOIE Portal that enables F-1 and J-1 students to access their most recently issued Form I-20 or DS-2019 directly in the MyOIE Portal. OIE will no longer be sending Form I-20 or DS-2019's as an attachment via email to F-1 and J-1 students. At this time, J-1 scholars will continue to receive their DS-2019 as an email attachment. 

How can I access the I-20 or DS-2019 via the MyOIE Portal?

As of Feb. 8, 2024, when you are issued a new Form I-20/DS-2019 document from a request (i.e., travel signature, CPT, OPT), you will receive an email notification regarding the new document with instructions to go to your MyOIE Portal.

Will I be able to access previously issued I-20s or DS-2019s via the MyOIE Portal?

Only the most recently issued Form I-20 or DS-2019 document will be available in the MyOIE Portal for access. For older Form I-20 or DS-2019s, please refer to your CMU email account and locate the desired previous Form I-20 or DS-2019 sent to your email from oie@andrew.cmu.edu. Remember, it is a student's or scholar's responsibility to maintain a copy of all issued Form I-20 or DS-2019 documents for their records.
