Applying for admission as an F-1 visa applicant is a multi-step process.  Your Designated School Official (DSO) will provide you with information and assistance throughout this process. Application and required documents must be received by the following deadlines:

Fall Semester Applicants by July 31 
Spring Semester Applicants by November 30 
Summer Semester Applicants by March 31

Once you submit all the required documents and any additional program requirements, you will be issued a Form I-20 within seven business days.

With your Form I-20, you will pay the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee. After the issuance of Form I-20 and payment of the SEVIS fee, you will need to schedule a visa interview at the U.S. Embassy with the jurisdiction over your location. Please visit the following website for updated information about U.S. Embassy and F-1 visa application information:  https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/students.
