When you application has been approved, IEI will send you an Acceptance Letter for the ESL program and an I-20. The I-20 allows you to apply for a student visa known as the F1 visa. Please note that the I-20 is not a visa, nor does it guarantee a visa.
- Applying for a Visa: You should apply for your visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate with jurisdiction over your place of permanent residence. Although visa applicants may apply at any U.S. consular office abroad, it may be more difficult to qualify for the visa outside the country of permanent residence.

- Required documentation
Once you have your U.S. student visa, you can finalize your travel plans. You will not be allowed to enter the U.S. more than 30 days before the program start date indicated on your I-20. For example, if the program start date is August 30, the earliest date that you can enter the U.S. is July 31. When you travel, you should always carry your I-20, your passport, and evidence of sufficient funds on your person—do not lock these documents away in a suitcase. We also recommend that you carry the name and contact information for the Director and/or Admissions Officer of IEI.
