I-20 and Visa Information (ALI Students)

Many agencies of the United States government are involved in international students coming to the U.S. to study. These agencies make the most updated information on their websites.

Check the visa appointment wait time for the U.S. Consulate in your area here.  ALI will not issue I-20 if the U.S. Consulate is not conducting student visa interviews in your area.  

Once students receive the I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status, and the acceptance letter from a sponsoring program, they will need to make an appointment for the visa interview at the U.S. embassy in their home country.

Students should check the latest and official information about getting the student visa on the Department of Homeland Security website.

Other important and useful information can be found on:
