In order to study in the United States, you will need a non-immigrant student visa, otherwise known as an F-1 visa. To be granted an F-1 visa, you must appear at a US Embassy or other named location and present the required visa fee, your valid passport, a letter of acceptance, your financial documents and a Form I-20. To be issued an I-20, you must first be fully accepted (including your finances and your deposit) by Missouri Baptist University. In order to be considered for acceptance, ALL required forms and documents must be submitted in a timely manner for review by the Missouri Baptist University Undergraduate Admissions Committee and Office of International Student Services.
