You can begin your study abroad by completing these five steps:

 

STEP 1:   SEND IN APPLICATION MATERIALS:  If you are already a student in the U.S. and are wishing to transfer to the work-study program, you can apply directly by going to the apply for program page.     If you are living abroad and need to apply for a visa from the U.S. consulate in your home country, you may need to contact an authorized office in your country or an authorized consulting agency or placement agency there.   There may be an additional fee charged by the consulting or placement agency to handle your application material, assist you with complying with U.S. government Immigration Service regulations, training you in preparation for the visa interview with the U.S. consulate, and in the scheduling of the dates for enrollment in the program and for the visa interview.   Please contact us at to find out the name and contact numbers of the consulting agent or placement agent in your area.

 

Visit the apply for program page where you will find a list of the required documents that you will need to send to us.  After we receive your package you will be notified within several weeks whether or not you have been accepted into the program. Please note that HTIR is responsible for all preparatory details, pre-screening and visa advising.  Lincoln University makes all decisions regarding admissions and issuing of the I-20. 

 

STEP 2:   WAIT FOR LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE:

 

STEP 3:   PAY YOUR ADVANCE DEPOSIT AND RECEIVE I-20 FORM :   

 

STEP 4: PAY TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THE SEVIS FEE. Once you receive the I-20 you will need to pay the SEVIS fee.   

 

STEP 5:   PREPARE FOR VISA INTERVIEW & APPLY FOR VISA.  When your I-20 form is ready to be sent out, we will send you to our online visa course where you will be given information on ideas and tips you can use to help you prepare for your interview with the U.S. visa office.  Because we have an immigration lawyer on our staff, we can answer most of the questions you may have regarding U.S. Immigration law and procedures.  Please email us for any visa questions you may have.
