International Student Application and Arrival Steps

It takes time and commitment to get from the idea of wanting to study abroad, to arrival at 老司机福利社.

We broke this process up into 3 easy steps. Each step is separate from one another, but is required to proceed to the next step. For example, you cannot apply for Form I-20 until you鈥檝e been admitted and have committed to the University.

Study these steps carefully to gain a thorough understanding of the entire process. It will take a minimum of 3 months to complete the entire process (if you are organized, have all the required documents, and can schedule a visa interview without delay). Realistically, plan to spend at least 3-6 months on completing this process.

*Students who are already in the U.S. on a visa can disregard Step 2 and Step 3.


Who is an International Student?

老司机福利社 defines international students as 鈥渁 鈥榥on-immigrant鈥 student visitor who comes to the United States temporarily to take classes. A non-immigrant is an individual who intends to stay in the U.S. temporarily, does not have U.S. citizenship or legal permanent resident status (a "green card"), and requires a visa to be in the U.S. Most international student applicants will be admitted under the F-1 student visa. International students with other visa status also may be admitted.鈥

U.S. citizens completing high school outside of the United States are considered domestic for application purposes, but international for admission consideration purposes and must therefore familiarize themselves with supplemental international application requirements.
