Visa information
International students must obtain an F-1 Visa in order to attend APTLI. International participants are encouraged to apply early to APTLI to allow enough time for visa processing. F-1 visa holders may enter the U.S. 30 days before the start of APTLI on June 14 and could stay as long as 60 days after the program ends August 6 (Note: The entry process for Canadian citizens is different than for citizens of other countries.)
Receiving your “I-20” form
For the F-1 visa you will require an I-20 form from UW-Madison. In order to receive your I-20 you must demonstrate financial means to cover:
- APTLI Tuition
- Room and board
- Health Insurance
Once you receive your I-20, you must apply for the F-1 visa stamp at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Please contact the APTLI Coordinator for information regarding where to send your financial support documentation. This can be a lengthy process, so please start as soon as possible.
