International Students General Information

International Students General Information

All international students wishing to live in the US while attending college must be admitted as full-time international students and maintain a full-time course load to stay in compliance with F-1 Visa requirements. NMJC uses the Student and Exchange Visitors Information System (SEVIS) to track and issue I-20s to international students requesting F-1 visas.

After receiving the SEVIS I-20 form and F-1 Visa

How Do I Get A SEVIS FORM I-20?

To apply for a SEVIS I-20 Form you must complete a New Mexico Junior College International Admissions Application Form, have a valid passport from your home country, submit official transcripts (translated into English) from all educational institutions which you have attended. Foreign transcripts will also require a recommendation from a credentials evaluation agency, such as the World Education Service. All transcripts must be mailed directly to NMJC from the issuing institution. Additionally, students wishing to reside (live) in the U.S. while attending school full-time must submit a completed Financial Responsibility Statement, to include a current bank statement, indicating sufficient funds to pay living expenses and cost of school.

The amount of financial solvency is subject to change. Please call or e-mail us to inquire on the current amount. The number to call is 575.392.5112 or e-mail jmcdonald@nmjc.edu.
