We handle admissions and school‑side enrollment: your offer, deposit, and I‑20 coordination. DS‑160 filing and the consulate interview are yours, or an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney's.
New Chapter America provides academic admissions and educational counseling. Nothing on this page and nothing we say to you is legal advice. We do not prepare immigration forms, represent you, or coach legal eligibility. DS‑160 and consular steps are the student's responsibility, using official instructions and your school DSO. Legal help means an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney only. Visa decisions belong solely to consular officers and U.S. authorities. No one can promise an outcome. See our full legal notice.
School side is ours. Filing and legal questions are not.
Educational overview only. Confirm details with your school's international office. Filing questions: via official guidance, or a licensed attorney.
The category for full‑time study at an accredited program: a language school, college, or university. It starts with an I‑20 from the school after acceptance, and ties your stay to that program.
Arriving as a short‑term visitor intending to enroll is exactly what officers look for. If you are unsure which path applies, ask your school DSO or a licensed U.S. immigration attorney. We're not legal counsel.
Timings are what we typically see on the school side. Filing wait times vary by consulate and season.
Once you've accepted an offer and paid the school's deposit, the school issues your I‑20 with a SEVIS ID. We coordinate so name spelling, dates, and funding figures match what you submitted. Mismatches cause headaches later.
You pay the SEVIS fee using the ID on the I‑20, complete the DS‑160, and book a consular appointment — filing is yours, or an independent attorney's. We do not fill those forms. Follow official State Department and school DSO instructions.
If you want it, a short call to practice talking about your study plan and English in plain language, so the real window feels less unfamiliar. Not legal eligibility coaching. We never write scripted answers.
The interview itself is often short. The decision belongs entirely to the consular officer. If approved, your passport returns with the visa; some cases need extra processing time.
Your school will confirm exactly how early you're allowed to travel before your program start date. Tell us your landing time so we can help with arrival support where we offer it.
We stay on the school and enrollment side either way.
Use your school's international office, official State Department instructions, and the government fee sites to complete the DS‑160 and prepare for the interview.
When your history is complicated or you want legal counsel, hire an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney. We do not provide that help ourselves.
Practice talking about your study plan and English clearly. Not eligibility advice.
Usually a short WhatsApp or video call, in English or Türkçe.
If anyone guarantees approval or offers to "handle" a refusal for a fee, walk away. The decision belongs to the consular officer alone.
If you were refused before, or have anything unusual in your record, talk to a licensed U.S. immigration attorney before reapplying. That is legal work, not ours.
We can help on the school side. Immigration status questions belong with a licensed attorney.
Changing status or other immigration filings from inside the U.S. are legal matters. We do not handle them. Use a licensed U.S. immigration attorney.
Already studying and ready for a new program? We find the school, handle admissions, and coordinate with both schools' international offices on the transfer timing they require.
More on the full FAQ page, or send us the specifics of your school plans.
As soon as your I‑20 is in hand. Appointment wait times vary widely by consulate and season. You handle the filing timeline yourself with official guidance and your school DSO. We help if the school needs to move your intake or reissue an I‑20.
Only within specific rules set by the government and your school, never as your funding plan. The only reliable answer comes from your school's international student office. We do not determine work eligibility.
Family visits are common, but visitor and dependent categories have their own rules. For anything beyond a general overview, ask a licensed U.S. immigration attorney or the school's international office.
Talk to a licensed U.S. immigration attorney before reapplying, especially if the refusal involved an overstay, status issue, or anything on your record. We will not guess. That assessment is legal work.
You need an offer and an I‑20 before the filing step, and somewhere to land after it.
No I‑20, no student path. We shortlist schools around your goal and budget, handle the application, and coordinate with the school when the I‑20 is issued.
How admissions worksFlight booked, and then the practical part: housing, a phone, and a bank account.
What arrival support coversWhere you are now, what you'd like to study, and whether you already have an offer or I‑20. DS‑160 and the consulate are yours, or an independent licensed U.S. immigration attorney's.
