F-1 visa stamped in the passport. An alien student may obtain a valid F-1 Visa
through Third Country Visa processing. To learn more about third country visa

(the student should have the foreign student advisor sign the USCIS Form I-20 each
time he wishes to temporarily travel outside the United States);
d. A new
USCIS Form I-20 A-B/I-20 ID if there have been any substantive changes in the course
of study or place of study or if the alien student has been outside the U.S. for
more than five months; and
e. Proof of financial support.
