Await Acceptance and I-20 Issuance

Once the student has been admitted to the school and the enrollment deposit has been received, we will issue an I-20 application and official acceptance letter that must be shown to a U.S. consulate. All documents will be sent by FedEx directly to the student's permanent residence. Payment for the I-901 processing fee must be made in order to receive F-1 Student Visa status. After paying the I-901 application fee, please take the completed I-20 application and official acceptance letter to the nearest embassy where they will issue the F-1 Student Visa. 

*(As required by U.S. Immigration, F-1 international students must submit proof of financial solvency for the first year of their education. The Foreign Certification of Finances form can be uploaded to the FACTS application system. An original bank statement (dated within the last 6 months) must be submitted along with this form. If English is not the language in which the bank documents are issued, the bank statement must be accompanied by a certified, literal, English translation.)

Our goal is to provide the best learning environment for all students. Failure to disclose learning and/or behavioral help needs may jeopardize acceptance into our school.
