The IEC will issue I-20s (Certificates of Eligibility) for those students who fulfill the IEC admission requirements and provide evidence of financial support.  The I-20 form is used to apply for a student visa (F-1) at an American embassy or consulate.  Please note that not all visa types are appropriate for full-time study and the IEC does not issue I-20s for Change of Visa Status.  The summer part-time program (Track 2) is for permanent residents or US citizens who do not need a visa to study.   

Please note:  All persons applying for an F visa must pay a SEVIS fee before applying for their visas at the embassy.  The SEVIS fee is generally a one-time fee and is non-refundable.  Please go to the following website for directions on how and where to pay the SEVIS fee:  www.fmjfee.com. The SEVIS fee is NOT payable or associated to the IEC.  It is paid to DHS (Department of Homeland Security).  Proof of payment must be presented to consular officials during the visa application process.  Please e-mail the IEC if you have any questions about the SEVIS fee.
