A good resource to understand the process is Study in the States

To receive your I-20 from SFdS School, the following is required:

• Complete School Application
• Submit report cards and academic records
• Shot records
• Birth certificate &/or passport
• Financial information from the sponsor (whoever is financially supporting the student is the actual sponsor), such as 1 year’s worth of bank statements
  Affidavit/I-134 (states responsibility of guardian) Instructions Link Here

After all the above documents and paperwork is complete and the child is accepted to St. Francis de Sales Catholic School, an approval/acceptance letter must go to the student/guardian/sponsor with a reminder of the start date and I-901 fee (FMJ) to pay to SEVIS or the government entity (in addition to our fee for I-20 processing).

Once the student arrives in the US, the following must be processed

• Student has 30 days to report to the school.
• I-94 CVP has to be printed by student and presented to the school. Be sure to check date of arrival ~ may not arrive more than 45 days before program start date.
• We need to verify I-94 (date of entry, class of Visa ~ must stay/state F1, admit until date)
• MAKE a COPY OF I-94, put in student folder.
• Must register both semesters.
• The school then gives a new I-20

Program start/end dates will be 10, 20, 30 months based on number of school years… and does not include summers.
