Visas

Although the IEP office processes I-20 applications within five working days from the date received, it may take up to several weeks for students to receive the I-20 through regular mail, depending on the destination. Please send your application for I-20 well in advance to ensure proper time to process your visa.
If you send your application for an I-20 within 30 days or less from the beginning of your program, your I-20 will be sent by express mail service and you will be responsible for the fee.
