Transworld Schools is authorized by federal law to issue a Certificate of Eligibility for the I-20 form for the F-1 Student Visa. You will need to:
1. Submit a completed Transworld Application form for ESL or CTESOL training
2. Pay the application fee and course tuition
3. Provide evidence that you have sufficient funds to cover your full course of study plus living expenses while enrolled in your Transworld program

Once Transworld has issued you with a Certificate of Eligibility/I-20 form, you will need to make an appointment with the American Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence (although it is possible to apply for a visa in another country, the visa application process is usually easier in your country of residence). Schedule sufficient time to apply for your visa before leaving your country. The visa will be stamped in your passport (your passport will need to be valid for at least 6 months from your planned time of arrival in the USA).

At your interview, the American Consulate may ask you questions about your planned studies in the USA. You may also have to show proof that you are intending to return to your country once your course of study has been completed.

When you arrive in the USA, Immigration will stamp your I-20 and staple an I-94 white card into your passport. These are important documents that show you arrived legally in the USA. You will need to bring these to Transworld on your first day and the Admissions Director will make copies of them for your student file.

Remember, your student visa requires that you study not less than 18 hours per week. This means that you need to maintain good attendance. If you are unable to attend a class for any reason, you will need to inform your teacher.

Transworld provides a personal admissions service for all students. If you have any specific visa or travel related questions or concerns, please email us at info@transworldschools.com
