To obtain an F-1 student visa, you must enroll in our Intensive English Program, which requires a commitment of 18 hours per week. The first step in the process is to secure an I-20 form from our DSO(Designated School Official). This I-20 form is essential for applying for the F-1 visa at the U.S. Consulate in your home country. The F1 Visa only applies to students who have been accepted to or are enrolled in a school in the U.S. For Student Visa related questions, please contact the IELI international student office at ieliss@hunter.cuny.edu or (212) 650-3850.
