Visas and Application Deadlines.

To study English in the United States, you will need a student visa (F-1). If your trip to the U.S. is primarily for business or tourism and you decide to study English incidental to your visit, you do not need the student visa (F-1) and can take a part-time course with less then 18 hours of instruction per week. Both School in Hawaii are authorized under the Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant alien students and issue them the I-20 forms.

Once you have been accepted, you will be sent an I-20 form. This form needs to be taken to a U.S. Consultate or Embassy, together with a valid passport and a bank statement or letter from your banker or corporate sponsor written on letterhead, which shows funds in excess of the total amount listed on. After the application has been processed and accepted by the U.S. Consulate or Embassy the student will receive a Student (F-1) Visa.

To qualify for a student visa (F-1), you have to register for the full-time English language course (20, 25 or more lessons per week). You can attend courses with 16 lessons per week on a Tourist Visa or Visa Waiver Program.

Before we issue the I-20 we will also have to receive documentary evidence that you have sufficient funds for your stay here in USA. A copy of your passport is also required. If you request the I-20 form, then this documentary evidence and the copy of your passport must accompany your application (if you apply online, you may fax the documents to +1 (561) 629-5983 or you can scan the documents and send them by e-mail). We are obliged to hold this information on file for the immigration authorities.

The documentary evidence can be either of the following:

Supporting evidence of financial means (e.g. a recent bank statement) to cover tuition and living expenses for the duration of their stay
A supporting letter of financial responsibility from the parent accompanied by evidence of financial means.
A letter of sponsorship from a company or organization together with evidence of financial means.

Please note that students will also have to provide this evidence at their USA Embassy (Consulate) when processing their visa.

It takes time to obtain a student visa. Please apply as early as possible. Normally, we must receive your application no later than 30 days before the program starts. If you do not a student visa, you can also apply less than 30 days before the beginning of the program. However, acceptance of late applications is subject to space availability.
