Have you been thinking about studying English in Orange County, California? There are a few steps you will need to take first. In order to come to the United States, you will need to get an F-1 visa from your home country.
This process begins when you apply to a school in the US. Make sure that the school you apply to can offer the I-20 form that you will need to be able to get your F-1 visa. Optimus Language School in Orange County offers the I-20 form. Once you’ve got the I-20 form, you will then fill out the Nonimmigrant Visa Application (Form DS-160) from your country’s US embassy or consulate. This form can be found online. You will also need to pay an application fee at this time. Then, you will be scheduled for an interview in your country’s US embassy office. Optimus Language School in Orange County can help you out with that, too! We’ve got online classes that can help you practice for your interview so that you won’t have to feel nervous.
When you pass your interview, your visa will be approved. They will take your fingerprints and either send you your passport (with the visa in it) or tell you where to pick it up. That’s all there is to it! Good luck! We look forward to seeing you for our next quarter.
