- I-20 application
The student is responsible for I-20 shipping fees by paying through eShipGlobal.
International students must also meet the requirements for acceptance for foreign (nonimmigrant) students by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (USINS). Since this process is much more lengthy than for traditional students, it is recommended that international students begin the application process as early as possible, giving at least six months prior to the beginning of the term.
The Government of the United States requires proof of support before accepting any student from outside the U.S. This proof may come as a written affidavit from friends or organizations from the student’s home country, or from family or friends living in the U.S. who are willing to support the student’s educational endeavors. JUFL is under the authority of the United States Government to have verification of support before it can issue the I-20 form to foreign students. This I-20 form is needed to come into the U.S. and to obtain a foreign student visa.
