4. When we receive your application, the financial document, and the fee payment, we will send you a SEVIS I-20 form and MIIS ESL-EAPP acceptance letter. Students outside the United States should take the acceptance letter, the SEVIS Form I-20, a valid passport, and other supporting documents to the nearest US Consulate to apply for a student visa (not a tourist visa). tudents already in the United States who are transferring from another school send a photo copy of their validated SEVIS Form I-20(s) to the Monterey Institute with their application. Students may postpone their arrival and use the tuition deposit for enrollment in a later session (up to one year) if they are unable to arrive for the session indicated on the application form. If the US Consulate or Embassy does not authorize a visa, students may request a refund of their $150.00 non-refundable tuition deposit by contacting the Intensive English Program and providing proof of visa denial.

If you have questions about your visa status, please contact the Intensive English Programs office at english@miis.edu or +1-831-647-3501.
