A non-immigrant visa is an immigration document that permits a citizen of a foreign country to enter the U.S. for a short period of time.While in the U.S., it also determines what a non- immigrant is allowed to do.If you want to study full-time in the U.S., you should get an F-1 visa.The US Department of State website has more information about obtaining a visa.
The I-20 is the official document Kaplan gives to students who are going to study with us full-time.Students can apply for a student visa at the American Embassy.
You can see the application from Kaplan Medical.There is a list of documents required for an I-20.
Depending on whether students have submitted a complete application and how long it takes to get the required documents.Once we have all of the required documents and payment, the I-20 will be issued within 2 weeks.If you want to apply for a visa as soon as possible, please keep this in mind.
There are no specific deadlines for Kaplan.If you want to enter the US on an F-1 Visa, you need to pick a start date at least 2 months in the future.
The I-20 shows that a non- immigrant has been admitted to a U.S. school.The Designated School Official (DSO) at the school the student intends to study at is required by the U.S. Embassy/Consulate to apply for F-1 visa status.Once in the U.S., F-1 students must maintain a valid I-20 by studying full-time and communicate regularly with their DSO to ensure they maintain legal status.
If you need more time to complete your studies, you can speak to your DSO to see if you qualify for an extension.I-20 extensions require you to meet specific criteria.To ensure you meet your academic goals in a timely manner and complete your studies with Kaplan by the end date listed on your I-20, it is important that you pace yourself.Before your last day of study, all requests for I-20 extensions must be made to your DSO.If you request extensions after your last day of study, they will not be granted.There are no exceptions to this policy.
Before entering the U.S., you can request a change to your start date.As soon as you know about the change, please contact Kaplan to confirm your new start date.Kaplan will mail a revised I-20 to show your new study dates if the change is acceptable.Failure to notify Kaplan about these changes could cause problems at the Port of Entry and the U.S Embassy.You can't delay your start date once you enter the U.S.There are no exceptions to this policy.Payment in full may be required in order to change your start date.There are more details on the application.
You can change your location if you haven't received your F-1 visa.A new I-20 will be mailed to you from the new location if you contact Kaplan.You should not use your original I-20 at the U.S. Embassy or Port of Entry.If your visa has been issued, you can change locations, but you will need a new visa if you want to enter the U.S.If the names don't match, you may be denied entry to the U.S.Before traveling to the U.S., you should check with your local embassy to see if a new visa is required.

I didn't write a start date on my application because I want to get a student visa as soon as possible.Is that right?
To process an application, we need a start date.You should have enough time for your visa to be processed and for you to find a place to stay.
We need to tell you on your I-20 that you are travelling with dependents.Provide us with their full names, a copy of their passport, their date of birth and relationship to you.There are more details on the application.
You risk falling out of legal status if you don't meet Kaplan's full-time study requirements.
Full-time study is the primary purpose for staying in the U.S. as an F-1 student.You shouldn't expect to work while studying with Kaplan.If you have more questions, they can be addressed to the D.S.O.Upon arrival, at your center.
If you are found to be working without government approval, your employment will be considered unauthorized.Immediately, your I-20 will be terminated in the student tracking system.If this happens, you will no longer be eligible to study with Kaplan and you must leave the U.S. immediately.
