You will need to provide one final transcript showing your degree to the university. Some universities can also ask you to submit a hard copy of the transcript once you reach the campus. 

3. Deposit the non-refundable enrollment fee

The enrollment fee is to reserve your seat into the university. It is genereally deducted from your tutition fees so it's not like you just frittered away the amount. 

Steps after your documents are approved:

4. Wait for the I-20 form

Your university will generate an I-20 or DS-2019 form for you depending on the type of program you have been admitted to. Please note that the I-20 immigration form is an extremely important document signifying your visa status. 

5. As soon as I-20 arrives, apply for F-1 visa!

Applying for an F-1 visa requires you to book two dates, one for verification of documents and the other for an interview with a consular officer. The interview is the most important part of your F-1 visa application so make sure that you are well-prepared for it. Take a look at our service on F-1 Visa Interview for acing the round.
