Here is a step-by-step guide for you. If you have any questions, please contact us anytime.
You should apply for a student visa (F-1) if you would like to study full-time in the United States.
A student visa is issued by the American Embassy in your home country.
To apply for a student visa, you must have an I-20 issued by the school you would like to attend. Students on a student visa (F-1) are required by U.S. Immigration law to study in a full-time program with a minimum of 18 hours per week.
JUST GO LANGUAGES is authorized by the U.S. Government to accept international students.
How to Register
To register at JUST GO LANGUAGES, ALL applicants must:
- Take written and oral Placement Test (not mandatory for Recreational Applicants who are true beginners);
- Get classes schedule based on Placement Test results;
- Pay for tuition and all applicable fees;
- Participate in Student Orientation (not mandatory for Recreational Applicant).
Student Visa Application Process (Step by Step):
- Decide how long you would like to study (16 weeks, 6 months, or 1 year) and the start date of your studies. You must provide this information at registration, as it will appear in your I-20 document. Just to remind you, the student can arrive in the USA up to 30 days before the start date of the program.
- Gather all necessary documents:
- Copy of Passport (student and dependents)
- Copy of the last 3 Bank Statements
- Marriage and Birth Certificates of dependents (if applicable)
- If you are using a Sponsor:
- Copy of the Sponsor’s Bank Statements
- Copy of the Sponsor’s Passport
- Request the Sponsor to fill out and sign an Affidavit of Support (we can send you a model)
Proof of Income: Bank statements must show at least $13,200 for the F-1 / $6,000 for each F-2 for one year of study. The greater your financial proof, the better. If you choose a shorter study period, ask us, and we will inform you of the proof amount.
- We will reach out to you after we receive the forms and documentation.
- If your application is approved, pay the school fees, and we will email your I-20 within five business days.
- After you get the I-20, you can schedule the interview at the US Embassy/Consulate by filling out the DS-160 form and paying the SEVIS Fee directly on the US Government website. We will provide a website where you can apply and pay the SEVIS fee.
- After your interview, please contact us as soon as possible to let us know how it went, and wait for us to receive your passport with the F-1 Visa to book your airfare. Only buy the ticket after receiving the passport with the Visa because, although rare, the Visa can come with spelling errors. We also recommend picking up your passport at the Embassy/Consulate, as although they are also rare, they can be lost when delivered by mail. You can arrive in the USA up to 30 days before the start of your course.
- Have a nice trip, and we will see you here in Orlando!
