Ask the US Embassy or Consulate nearest you about current requirements. Be sure to tell them what kind of programme you wish to study in and for how long. Also contact the school or programme you wish to attend and ask them which visa you will need. In order to apply for this visa you will need to submit a completed I-20 form to the US Embassy. The I-20 form will be sent to you by your US university or college once you have confirmed your acceptance on the course and submitted proof of finances.
Accreditation guarantees certain minimum standards.
IEPs that are not part of university programmes and therefore do not have accreditation through the university, must be independently accredited by a recognised accrediting body. Currently the only recognised accrediting body is the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training . Most schools list their accreditation and their professional association membership in their information brochures. How to Choose You will need to do plenty of research when choosing an English Language Programme. First, you will need to decide what type of programme best fits your needs.
