Once again, once you receive your I-20 in email, double check on the information and make sure everything is accurate and consistent, print it out and sign; and then you are ready to make a visa interview appointment to the local US Embassy/Consulate that is close to you. Use the SEVIS ID number on the top left of your I-20. You need to pay visa application fee of $185. Double check on your local US Embassy/Consulate website to determine the application fee. Also, you need to pay SEVIS fee of $350 before your visa interview. Please visit our website https://www.kysu.edu/academics/global-strategies-and-international-affairs/index.php, and better check out this International Student Handbook on this website. Detailed information on how you make an appointment, pay the application fee and SEVIS, and suggestions on interview, entry to the US, and so much on are provided there.
Please note: As a new international student, you are not permitted to enter the U.S. more than 30 days before the start date indicated on your I-20.
