Visa Requirements
How to apply for a student visa
It’s important to apply for your student visa as soon as possible. Processing times for visa issuance vary and may require additional time due to security checks.
- Your Form I-20 will be emailed to you. Pay the $350 SEVIS fee if this is your first time applying for an F-1 student visa (some students with a previous Form I-20 and F-1 visa will also have to pay this fee). Click here for instructions. Your SEVIS Identification number is listed on your Form I-20 and begins with the first number after the letter “N”. Be sure to print out a copy of your SEVIS fee receipt at the time of payment and staple it to the back of your OSU I-20. The printed confirmation will serve as proof of payment for the I-901 SEVIS fee.
- Make sure your passport is valid.
- Follow the U.S. Embassy/Consulate’s instructions to schedule an interview for your F-1 student visa.
- Complete the Form DS-160 Nonimmigrant visa application form.

What is the SEVIS Fee?
SEVIS is the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. It is an internet-based system that maintains data on foreign students and exchange visitors before and during their stay in the United States. It is administered by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The SEVIS fee is a one-time fee that MUST be paid by all new students entering the country on an F-1 or J-1 visa. The revenue from the fee is used to support the SEVIS program.
You do not need to pay the $350 SEVIS fee if you are transferring schools, extending your program, applying for an F-2 dependent visa, or have paid this fee and been denied a visa within the last 12 months.

- Form I-20.

Student Testimonials
Jack H. Graham
“When my brother was attending college, he didn’t have to milk cows, and that looked promising,” Graham said. “So, all of us went to OSU and achieved, at least, a master’s degree and I haven’t had to milk a cow since!”
David Boyer
“This introduction occurred at an Institute of Industrial Engineering senior chapter meeting in Decatur, Illinois,” Boyer said. “At the time, I thought the meeting with Dr. [John] Nazemetz was an impromptu encounter; but years later, I learned that it was a planned meeting that professors [Jim] Gross and Nazemetz had secretly prearranged.”
Lieu R. Smith
“My undergraduate time at OSU was a major time of adjustment from a small rural school background to a major university setting,” Smith said. “It permitted me to expand my horizons academically and socially as well as mature in my decision-making processes. My time at OSU, followed by going into the US Army Corps of Engineers as a Commissioned Officer, formed a core structure of who I was and the lifestyle principles that I stood for.”
Jim Lansford
“A friend introduced me to Professor Yarlagadda at a conference and I was very impressed with his credentials. More importantly than the respect he had in the field of signal processing, he was modest, supportive and a genuinely kind person,” Lansford said. “I knew after meeting him that if I wanted to get my doctorate, he was the right person to be my adviser.”
Carolyne M. Gowdy Hart
“I was able to attend both the microbiology and engineering summer seminars, but my research that summer was guided by Dr. Bob Mulholland from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering,” Hart said. “That summer experience was transformative for me. The OSU faculty invested in me and opened up new horizons for me. It was a template for what I think higher education ought to be. I was anxious to return to OSU for graduate studies in EE and to work with my mentor, Dr. Mulholland.”
