Receive an I-20 issued to you

After you're accepted, your I-20 will be sent to you (within one business day). 

Pay a $350 SEVIS fee online

Applicants needing a visa to enter the U.S. must pay the SEVIS fee before going to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate for their visa interview. The fee must be paid at least three business days before the scheduled visa interview.

To pay this fee, go to Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) SEVIS I-901 Fee Processing website.

Fees will NOT be payable at the consulate.

Visa Interview

You must make an appointment at an embassy or consulate in order to receive your student visa (F1). To find the U.S. Embassy or Consulate nearest to you, visit their website at https://www.usembassy.gov/.

You'll need to bring your Shasta College I-20 to your appointment along with other documents (i.e. SEVIS payment receipt, financial documents, passport, Shasta College letter of acceptance, etc.). Contact the embassy or consulate to find out what other documents you will need to bring to your appointment. 

Orientation, Testing, and Registration

International students are required to attend an in-person orientation. During the orientation, students will tour the campus, meet the international student advisor, learn class regulations, and register for classes.

The general Shasta College Orientation is online at: New Student Online Orientation.

Contact Ryan Loughrey at rloughrey@shastacollege.edu for more information about the orientation specifically for International Students.
