The Valley supports global education and welcomes international students and exchange visitors. Learn how to apply and obtain a visa to study at Lebanon Valley College.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

A valid F-1 or J-1 visa must be secured in order to enter the United States as a full-time student at Lebanon Valley College. If you are a full-time student, you will apply for an F-1 visa, unless instructed otherwise. The College does not currently issue DS-2019 documents for J-1 students\/faculty. Any students (some exchange programs) or professionals wanting to study, research, or teach at LVC must receive their J-1 visa through a sponsoring agency.<\/p>\n

The visa process can take a few weeks to a few months depending on the consulate in country. Interviews are often required so please start the process early.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Secure Form I-20<\/h4>\n

Once all of your application materials have been received by LVC, the LVC admission team will issue a decision. If accepted, a deposit of $500 must be paid before LVC can issue a Form I-20. The I-20 is vital in order to apply for your visa. Please visit this site<\/a>\u00a0for information to get started.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Complete the Visa Application<\/h4>\n

Complete the visa application online at the\u00a0U.S. Department of State’s website<\/a>. First, select your location, then click “Start an Application.” You will be required to upload a photo. You can complete the application in stages so make sure to save all inputted information.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Pay the SEVIS Fee (I-901 fee)<\/h4>\n

Fill out the form and pay the necessary fee with a credit card on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Student and Exchange Öйú×ã²ÊÍøor Program (SEVP) website<\/a>. You will need to print out a receipt of proof of payment for your interview with a consular officer. Make sure to make a copy of your receipt as you will hand this in with other documents at the time of the interview.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Schedule an Interview<\/h4>\n

Locate the nearest US consulate<\/a> in your country\/region. Schedule an appointment for applying for an F-1 visa.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":89,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-112","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"section_menu":193},"yoast_head":"\nStudent Visas - Admission and Financial Aid<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Valley supports global education and welcomes international students and exchange visitors.
