The Florida F-1 Graduate Student Transfer Form serves as a crucial document for students transitioning from another U.S. institution to Florida International University (FIU). This form is specifically designed for F-1 undergraduate student applicants and plays a vital role in verifying their current immigration status. To initiate the transfer process, students must complete Section I, which requires personal details such as the FIU Panther ID, admission term, and contact information. Following this, the form must be submitted to the international student advisor at the current or previous school, who will then fill out Section II. This section includes important information about the student's SEVIS ID, enrollment status, and any authorized employment history. Once both sections are completed, the form must be sent to FIU’s Graduate Admissions Office, either by mail or fax. It is essential for students to be aware that the issuance of their I-20 form is contingent upon the release of their SEVIS record from the previous institution, which can take several weeks. Therefore, timely submission of the form is critical to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, students should note that all authorized employment will cease upon the release of their SEVIS record, making it imperative to plan accordingly during this transition period.
