The Program for Intensive English accepts International Students from around the world, who are interested in studying English in the United States.
To come to the U.S. with an F-1 visa, you must first be admitted to our program.
Then we will send you a form I-20.
With the form I-20, you can register with the U.S. government division called SEVIS and schedule a visa interview at a U.S. Embassy in your country
We will provide step-by-step instructions on how to do this upon admission.
You should apply to PIE at least 3 months before you want to start studying.
