6. Submit your Official Financial Statement Form.

   This form must be completed by your sponsor, as well as include an original bank statement or letter (with amounts in U.S. dollars) with original signatures on both forms.

Approval for Admission

Once you have met all admission requirements, we will issue the Form I-20 Certificate of Eligibility, which allows non-immigrant international students to apply for an F-1 student visa.

When the Form I-20 is processed, you will need to make the appropriate Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee payments and schedule an appointment with the U.S. Embassy to apply for an F-1 student visa.
