CIP is an SEVP-approved institution that accepts foreign non-resident students to study on an F1 Visa at all of our five program locations. Applicants who are accepted to CIP will be eligible to obtain a visa with permission from the United States Embassy or Consulate.
When considering admission for an international (non-us citizen), the process of obtaining approval, once the student is accepted to CIP, can often take up to three (3) months to complete the approval, immigration, and customs processes.
