Visa Support
Applying internationally doesn’t need to be stressful or intimidating. New England Innovation Academy is authorized to issue Form I-20 documents for enrolled international students, which are required to apply for an F-1 student visa.
If you have any questions about the international admissions process or visa requirements, please contact our Admissions team at: enrollment@neiacademy.org.
After new international students enroll in April, they will be required to complete the Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Registration Form to determine if they are in need of an F-1 student visa to attend school in the U.S. This form collects important information needed to comply with U.S. immigration regulations and and to issue the Form I-20.
Students applying for a F-1 visa will be asked to provide the following:
- Financial Certification (bank statement or financial guarantee demonstrating sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses)
- Copy of the Student’s Passport Bio Page
- Copy of Previous Visa or I-20 (if transferring from a U.S. school)
- English Proficiency Scores (TOEFL or Duolingo)
All documentation must be submitted by May 15 in order to allow for timely I-20 issuance and visa application process.
