Take to your appointment with the U.S. Consulate:

1. Letter of acceptance from CESL
2. I-20
3. Bank statement (most recent)
4. Passport

If you must change your beginning date of attendance, please do the following:

1. Write an email to esl(at)uky.edu to tell us your new beginning date.
2. Return the I-20.
3. Send a $50 application fee and $100 deposit.
4. Send a new bank statement if the one we have is more than 60 days old.

Information about the I-20

When you use our I-20 to enter the United Sates, you must report to the Center for ESL at the University of Kentucky.

VERY IMPORTANT:

For your first entry into the United States, you must present the I-20 of the school you plan to attend to the U.S. Consulate in order to get a student visa. You cannot change. The visa notation about the school and the I-20 of the school must match for your first entry.

For the most current information about getting a student visa, please visit the 
U.S. State Department Website. There is a great deal of information about how and when to apply, what information to bring, and many other topics of interest.
