Student Visa Process
Once you have been admitted to Judson University, you will send a payment of $500 (USD). Four hundred dollars will be applied to your bill as a deposit for your tuition and housing. In the unfortunate case that you are unable to attend Judson this money will be refunded to you. The additional $100 is a SEVIS (Student Exchange Visitor Information System) fee for the cost of creating and shipping your I-20 and that money cannot be refunded once the I-20 has been sent to you.
The I-20 is a United States Immigration document that shows that you have been admitted to Judson University. This document must be presented at your local United States Embassy, along with a receipt proving that you have paid the $200 SEVIS fee (click here for details).
Once you have received your I-20 from Judson University and have paid your SEVIS fee, you will need to make an appointment with you local United States Embassy.
When you go to the Embassy for your appointment, be sure to bring:
- I-20
- Receipt of SEVIS fee (I-901 fee)
- Copy of Certificate of Finances you and/or your financial sponsor has filled out
- Financial sponsor's bank statements
- Passport
- Complete visa applications
- DS156 Non-immigrant visa application form
- DS158 Contact Information & Work History for non-immigrant visa applicant
- School admission letter of acceptance
- Two 2x2 passport photos
