Hi I'm from the Philippines. I'm planning to study in the United States next school year ( 2010-2011). My gonna take my sophomore high school there. How long does it take to get Form I-20 and the student visa?

Answers:

A-Best: It may be that you will not be qualified for the visa. The school must have approval to accept foreign students before it can issue the I-20. You must also prepay the tuition for the period of your intended attendance.With the I-20 you can apply for the visa at which time you must demonstrate that you have funds beyond the school expense to pay for your living expenses and satisfy the consul that you are not intending to abandon your residence in the PI.
