F-1 VISA STATUS
The Los Angeles Film School is authorized under United States of America's federal law to enroll non-immigrant students. Foreign students must first obtain the appropriate student Visa allowing a foreign national to study in the United States. This student Visa can be obtained from the US Embassy or US Consulate servicing the area in which the foreign student resides.
For international students, The Los Angeles Film School’s Enrollment Coordinator can provide assistance and guidance in the acquisition of requisite student visas. In addition our Student Services office offers international students assistance in the completion and submission of requisite forms to apply for visa status changes, status extensions and temporary work authorizations for the purposes of pursuing Optional Post-Graduation Practical Training.
Once admitted into any of The Los Angeles Film School’s degree programs, international applicants will need to acquire a student visa to study in the United States.
The appropriate student visa for The Los Angeles Film School is an F1 visa, unless applicants are Fulbright scholars. Information about how to acquire the F1 student visa is provided to international students upon admission to the program.
In order to expedite this process, international applicants are encouraged to submit these documents along with the application for admission.
Should you need further assistance, please call the Admissions Department at 323.860.0789.
