Visas and Legal Information

Visas and Legal Information

If you need a visa, you should work on getting it as soon as possible once you have an I-20 with an appropriate start date.

In order to enter the U.S. to study, you will need two documents:

  1. An I-20 with appropriate start date (in this case: June 26, 2013)
  2. A U.S. visa

Immediately after being admitted to a Summer Program, you should contact your admitting unit to make sure your I-20 has an appropriate start date, and so the unit can begin to process the appropriate documents.

Students arriving in the fall have a start date sometime in August. The appropriate start date for attending the summer programs is June 26, 2013.

Should you have any further questions regarding start dates and I-20s please contact summerprograms@umich.edu.

You should also check your nearest U.S. embassy for information on regulations and wait times related to visa applications.
