Visa Information
Once students have been accepted into a course of study, MET International coordinates with them and their home institutions to assist in the visa application process.
The MET International office works with the Boston University International Students & Scholars Office (ISSO) to issue I-20 documents to admitted students. Once students receive an I-20, they can make an appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to request a student visa. To obtain more information on a visa appointment, students should contact their home institution.
This process takes time, and the MET International office encourages all international students to submit their applications and visa documentation as early as possible. MET International cannot affect the outcome of any visa application.
