Then you must apply for a place at that university or study center, since the acceptance letter from the academy will be key to applying for the visa.

Once you are accepted by the study center, it is time to process the visa. You must organize your financial statements which show that you can pay the expenses of maintenance and education. You must complete the I-20 form or Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Students, in addition to having a valid passport, DS-160 nonimmigrant visa application form, payment receipt for the application, passport-type photo and visiting student certificate.
