Those student names and biographic information are entered into a U.S. government database called SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System).
Outside the U.S.: After receiving an I-20 from a school, an international student must make an appointment to apply for an F-1 visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate (the visa is needed to be allowed entry into the United States in F-1 status). Students must present both the F-1 visa and the I-20 to a U.S.
When traveling abroad, students must take their I-20 with them. The I-20 is required to reapply for a visa (if needed) and for re-entering the United States. Before departure from the United States, students should verify that they have a valid travel endorsement on page 2 of their I-20 from an adviser at Berkeley International Office.
New I-20s are issued to continuing students whenever there is a significant update to a student's record. This includes changes in biographical data, program dates, change of major, the addition of a work authorization, etc.
The "completion date" is entered on item #5 of the I-20 based on a student's particular major and degree level. This is an estimate of time the University feels it may take to fulfill all degree requirements.
I-20 typically consists of estimated expenditure for a student for the first year of studies and details of funding available if any.

More often they may not see this piece of evidence if they are satisfied about students credentials. This statement is backed by the experience of my own son and many of his friends. However one should have such information ready at the time of interview.

It is the university that must decide if your funding is sufficient. It will not issue an I-20 until it is sure that you have enough money to pay. Most will not accept a relative’s bank balance unless they are sure that it is fully committed to you.
