Visa Procedures

If you require a visa to enter the United States, we will issue you an I-20 form as soon as you are accepted and have certified financial ability. This I-20 form will enable you to apply for a F-1 Student visa. American visas are issued only at American embassies and consulates outside the United States.

We encourage you to take advantage of the helpful services available at Education USA advising centers. These professionals can help you prepare to study in the United States and obtain your visa. This, together with the information from the embassies and consulates, should be the only advice you will need to obtain your visa.

Education USA and Fulbright advising centers generally charge no or a very modest fee for assistance, and we encourage you to join and take advantage of these services. However, be extremely wary of any other advisers or consultants proposing they can obtain a visa for you for a fee.
