The applicants with high, School Diploma, GED or CHSPE should have reached compulsory age to accept by A F International. The compulsory age is 16 years old and above as defined by the State of California Department of Education.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">This school does not accept ability-to-benefit students; students must have completed high school in their home country. Applicants must have knowledge of basic English language skills.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">All applicants must complete the application form and submit it along with applicable fees and a photo Identification (ID) online, in person, or by mail to A F International, P.O. Box 6223, Thousand Oaks, CA 91359- 6223. An acceptable form of ID is a passport, or any U.S. state issued driver\u2019s license or identification card.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">For students wishing to attend the school as International F-1 students, the Financial Certification Form is required showing ability to pay for education and living expenses of the student and the living expenses of spouse or children, if any, traveling with F-2 (dependent of student) visas. For each session in the ESL 72 program, the estimated total expense is $1,599 (which is the sum of tuition $750, books $49, and living expense $800) for the student and $800 (living expense) per dependent.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">For an F-1 initial, an F-1 initial Change of Status, or a reinstating student, the Financial Certification fund for the student must cover at least six (6) sessions of the estimated total expense for acceptance. For an F-1 transfer student, released in status, the Certification fund must cover at least 2 sessions of his\/her studies at AF International for acceptance. For the transfer student, the Certification fund can be a combination of two or more bank statements illustrating that the amount of money being deposited to the account is sufficient to pay for the tuition of 2 sessions or greater. In such a case, a letter from the student explaining the source of the money is required. Acceptable forms of financial documentation are:<\/p><ul class=\"font_8\"><li><p class=\"font_8\">a personal bank statement,<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"font_8\">an affidavit of support from a sponsor\/parent with a bank statement stating the\u00a0 responsibility for the student\u2019s expenses,<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"font_8\">a letter guaranteeing financial support from the student\u2019s employer, and<\/p><\/li><li><p class=\"font_8\">a scholarship letter from the student\u2019s government or other organizations.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"font_8\">In addition, depending on their situation, applicants must follow one of the following procedures:<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Applying for a Student Visa outside the U.S. (Initial) \u2013\u00a0Upon obtaining a Form I-20, the student must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee prior to applying for an F-1 visa.

However, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure the release of the student\u2019s Form I-20 to A F International by communicating to the Designated School Official (DSO) of the exiting school. Upon the release of the student\u2019s record to AF International in SEVIS, A F International will prepare the Form I-20 for the student.
