"Fantastic"

Richard Lima, student from Brazil

I loved everything about the school; they have good teachers. The location and facilities of college are fantastic and FLS has a lot of extra activities all days of the week. All professionals of FLS are very dedicated. The only problem is that you begin your classes with other students who have been studying for a long time. I arrived in the last two weeks before the conclusion of classes, so the focus was on the final tests to graduate and the classes stayed in the second plan.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $85 when you register.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
