Helpful Hints While Applying for a Visa
- Apply early. The time it takes to process your visa can vary significantly depending on type of visa and circumstances in the country or region you live, therefore it is important that you contact the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate as soon as you have your I-20.
- Some consulates require that personal interviews and appointments be scheduled in advance, and some interview applicants on a walk-in basis at specific posted times.
- Policies and regulations worldwide will continue to change as new security measures are put into place. Visit the links below on a regular basis for updates and changes that could affect your travel plans.
- What to take to the US Embassy or Consulate with the I-20. The original signed Letter of Acceptance from Green Lake High School, the original signed Receipt of Funds Letter, the original signed I-20, passport, and the travel dates (as approved by the Green Lake International Student Program administration). Check with the local embassy or consulate for any additional requirements they may have prior to your appointment.
