I-20 Process

IMPORTANT

The program start date on the I-20 issued by Trinity High School Home of Trinity International School is usually a few days before classes begin. This allows a few days of time for review of school records, testing, placement, and orientation. Students may NOT enter the United States after the start date on the I-20. If you need to enter later, please contact the school so we can update your I-20, allowing you to enter at a later date.
Students may enter the United States up to 30 days BEFORE the start date on the I-20. For example, if the start date on your I-20 is 08/24/2014, you may arrive in the US between 07/24/2014 and 08/24/2014.

Pay Your I-901 Fee

The SEVIS I-901 fee is mandated by Congress to support the program office and the automated system that keeps track of students and exchange visitors and ensures that they maintain their status while in the United States. Each student or exchange visitor issued an initial Form I-20 or DS-2019 on or after October 27, 2008, is responsible for paying this fee to SEVP.

You can apply for a student visa at the US Consulate in your country. For information about the new SEVIS fee (I-901) and other useful links for obtaining a visa, visit their page online.
