Transfer Process

Transfer Process

At American English Language School, we know that some students are not satisfied with their English education and want to transfer from a different school to our wonderful school. We have made this process simple and speedy so our students can come and study as soon as possible. All the steps are detailed on our website in three easy steps. 

First, students need to submit all the proper documents. They need to fill out our transfer application form that is located on our website. They also need to provide a copy of their current passport, F-1 visa, I-20 form, transcripts from their highest level of education completed, and a certificate of their or their sponsor’s bank balance. Once they have submitted the documents, they need to pay the processing fee. After the student’s payment has been received, AELS will send an Acceptance Letter and a SEVIS I-20 Transfer Form through email. The student needs to fill out the form and give both that form and their Acceptance Letter to their current school. Once they are transferred, they will receive an I-20 through AELS.
