Once they receive their formal notice of acceptance into Faith Bible College International, they will begin the student visa application process.

The student must provide the following for the I-20 paperwork:

Once the international accepted applicant receives the I-20, the applicant will need to pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee and book a student visa interview with his/her local embassy. The embassy’s government official holds the final decision to approve or deny the request for a student visa.

Former students wishing to complete their education at the college may do so by forwarding the application fee with a letter of intent, along with a pastoral recommendation.
Any former student who desires to enroll after a two-year separation must follow the new-applicant procedure.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Students who have studied at other learning institutions and desire credit for such work at Faith must submit official transcripts along with a current catalog from that institution.
Transferred credit in Theology, Biblical Studies, Humanities, and other related subjects from other colleges may be used to fulfill some of the requirements for the student’s program of choice.
