A:
If your international student manager acknowledges the mistake and provides all necessary information, a data fix might be possible. The success of this request largely depends on the honesty and thoroughness of the details submitted. The manager should outline the error and provide any missing documents or evidence, including the acceptance letter.
The process involves explaining why the I-20 wasn't processed and ensuring that all procedural steps are followed correctly now. It is important that the manager communicates effectively with the school's designated school official (DSO) and the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to address the issue.
While there's no guarantee of success, being transparent and providing complete information increases the chances. Keep in touch with your school's DSO and follow up regularly on the progress of the data fix request.
