Please view the following information on how to become an International Student at one of the Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (Clinton, Muscatine, Scott). The documents that you will need to send us are:
1. Application for Admission
2. Transcript(s)
3. Evidence of proficiency in English
4. Proof of financial responsibility
5. Proof of the SEVIS I-901
Once EICC has all your documentation, EICC can issue you a Form I-20 that you can take to a U.S. Consulate /Embassy in your home country and apply for an F-1 visa. You will need to pay the U.S. Government for your SEVIS I-20 though the internet and print off the receipt. Bring your I-20, I-20 receipt, passport, financial documentation and other important documentation to your visa interview.
When you enter the United States you will be given an I-94 Arrival / Departure Record (card) that shows:
1. Your date and place of entry into the United States
2. Your U.S. immigration status -it should be “F-1” (dependents are F-2)
3. Your admissions number (eleven digit number)
After your arrival to the United States /Quad-City area, you should come to our college within a few days. Please be sure to bring your: Form I-20, Passport, Visa, I-94 card and any other documentation. One of the international student coordinators will “register” you in the SEVIS program to give you an “active” student status -which makes your stay here legal. We encourage all students to arrive at least two weeks prior to classes to arrange housing and register for classes if you have not already done so.
We look forward to you becoming an International Student at one of the Eastern Iowa Community Colleges!
