Step 1: Request the Form I-20

Unless you have another status that allows you to study full-time in the United States, you will need the form I-20 to obtain M-1 student status. If you are not sure whether you need to obtain this status, check with Leland Scruby. Once you have submitted your application for admission and are accepted to a full-time career program, you can begin the visa process. To request the I-20, provide the following to the Office of Student Affairs:

• A legible copy of your passport identification page.
• Proof of financial resources. Learn how.
• Proof of English language proficiency. Learn how.
• A copy of any previous visas to the United States.
• Your home address, and the address and phone number where the I-20 should be sent.
