I initially entered the U.S. to pursue an undergraduate study in mathematics. After the first semester, however, I decided to change my major to computer science. Should I report this change to my DSO?

Answer

Yes, a change in the degree objective should be reported to the DSO within 21 days. The DSO will make all necessary updates in your SEVIS record to reflect the change in your major. The updates will also include your new financial obligation. The DSO will then issue you a new Form I-20 listing your new major which will replace your current I-20. (06.Jun.2014)
