International Student Admissions

To be considered for admission follow the steps below. Completed admission files will be processed in 5-7 business days (excluding holidays and weekends) . If admitted, you will receive an e-mail with a copy of your I-20 form along with an acceptance letter. The I-20, also called cetificate of eligibility, is the form that allows you to apply for F-1 student visa  at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. The original I-20 and acceptance letter are needed for the visa interview and you will receive instructions with options for shipping your original documents.  If you need help or have questions regarding the admission process, please contact us at  international@8n99.com
