The first step for a prospective non-immigrant student is to be accepted for enrollment by an established school that is SEVP certified. When all requirements are fulfilled, your application will be evaluated for official admission and if accepted, the Form I-20 and letter of acceptance will be issued by San Antonio College. You submit the I-20 and all other supporting documents to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in your home country in order to apply for the F-1 Student visa. Because each student's personal and academic circumstances are different, you may be asked different interview questions and/or be required to submit additional documentation.
Note: receipt of the I-20 does not guarantee issuance of student visa.
