Language Center International

Admission to ESL Classes at LCI

An application fee of $40 U.S. (non-refundable) is required with each application. Applications sent from outside the United States should include an international money order payable in U.S. dollars to Language Center International.

Completed applications from abroad which arrive too late for the chosen session will be processed for the next term.

If you plan on requesting a student visa, you need an I-20. You must submit both an Application for ESL Classes and an I-20 Request Form.

Submitting the Application

• Complete all items on the application. Spelling of names and birth dates must match the applicant's passport, so please include a copy of the passport page with the applicant's name and photograph.
• Applicants under 21 years of age must have their sponsor, parent(s), or guardian sign the health statement.
• Financial support documents are required for issuance of an I-20. Students must submit a current official financial statement indicating the ability to provide educational and living expenses. Students may use their personal funds. Sponsors must sign the application. Organizations may furnish a letter of sponsorship. All sponsors must provide current official proof of financial ability to support the student during his/her studies in the United States.
• Sign and date the application.
• Send the completed application, financial statement(s) (I-20 requests only), passport information, and the $40 application fee to LCI.

Students will be notified of acceptance. Transfer students on an F-1 visa should follow SEVIS transfer procedures. For transfer questions, please contact LCI. Students not in the U.S. should take their I-20 along with proof of funding to the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to request an F-1 visa.
