IMPORTANT DOCUMENT INFORMATION
I-20′s will be issued only after all the required documentation has been submitted to Steps on Broadway and 50% tuition has been received. Upon receipt of the I-20, the prospective student should take the I-20, the letter of acceptance from Steps on Broadway, and their financial documentation to the U.S. Consulate in their respective city to apply for an M-1 Visa. Remember an I-20 is not a visa! It is an application for a visa and does not authorize entry to the U.S. alone. The U.S. Consulate reserves the right to deny a student’s application for a visa should they be unable to prove their intention to return to their country of origin after the completion of their studies, or if their financial documentation is insufficient.
