Student Visa
At National University, we have made the application for a student visa (Form I-20) into a simple process with a step-by step guide:
Step One
Once you have applied and been accepted in one of our programs,
you will want to pay your confirmation deposit to reserve your spot
in your class and be eligible to receive your Form I-20. You will
not be issued a student visa unless you have been accepted into our
program and have paid the deposit.
Step Two
To be issued a Form I-20, you will need to complete a Proof of
Financial Support Form showing evidence that adequate provisions
have been made to meet your financial needs during the first
academic year of study. This form must be completed and submitted
with accompanying documents (e.g., bank statements, loan agreement,
etc.).
There are predetermined amounts considered adequate to cover the first year's expenses for each program, which includes tuition, books, fees, housing, and miscellaneous funds. The estimated first year expenses are:
- $36,818 for Doctor of Chiropractic, Doctor of Naturopathic, Master of Science in Acupuncture, and Master of Science in Oriental Medicine
- $25,689 for Bachelor of Biomedical Science
Step Three
After the Proof of Financial Support Form and accompanying
documents have been submitted to the Office of Admissions, your
Form I-20 will be issued and mailed to your current address.
Your student visa can be issued at any time once your file is
complete but it is only valid for 30 days prior to the
start of the trimester. If you are currently studying in the United
States, you will need to have your student visa transferred to
National University.
Step Four
There is a SEVIS fee of $100 that is required by the Department of
Homeland Security. You will receive information on how to pay this
fee when you receive your Form I-20. This is not a fee due to
National University. You must pay this fee directly to the
Department of Homeland Security.
