Immigration Transfer Process

Please keep in mind that the admission transfer process and the immigration transfer process are two separate procedures.

• Because you are transferring to Loyola from another SEVIS institution in the United States, we cannot issue you a Loyola I-20 until your current school releases your SEVIS record.
• To have your SEVIS record released, you will need to complete a SEVIS Transfer Supplement Form and notify your current international student advisor that you intend to transfer to Loyola University New Orleans.
• Your advisor will release your record to us on a specified date, usually the last day of exams.
• Once your SEVIS record has been released, we will complete your immigration transfer and issue you an I-20.

Transfer & Travel

• If you are planning to leave the United States and will return after your SEVIS transfer to Loyola is completed, you must use your Loyola I-20 to re-enter the country.
• If you are planning to remain in the United States prior to transferring, then you simply have to sign your Loyola I-20 and submit it to our office during Orientation.
