Our Intensive English program with 20 lessons is is designed for individuals whose primary purpose in the U.S. is to gain cultural experience. Fewer lesson hours allow more time for sightseeing and travel. Our Intensive Plus and Super Intensive with 24 and more lessons per week is designed for individuals whose primary purpose in the US is English studies. CEL advises students to apply for student visa if (1) the main purpose of travel is to study English and (2) a full-time course is chosen. Students interested in applying for an F-1 student visa must provide proof of financial means to cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. This could be a recent bank statement from the student, the student’s parent or legal guardian or a financial guarantee from the student’s company or government. Qualifying students will be issued an I-20 that the student must take to the US Embassy in the student’s home country before coming to the US. If you enter the US on a tourist visa, the main purpose of the trip must be sightseeing or a personal visit. The main purpose of travel may not be English language study. English language study must be incidental to the student’s sightseeing or personal visit plans. CEL has been authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to issue F-1 student visas to students who are coming to the US to study full-time (18 hours or more per week). The maximum time to complete the full course of study at CEL is 80 weeks.
To guarantee your application and mailing of the I-20, you must pay a partially refundable deposit of up to $500 including the non-refundable registration fee and non-refundable accommodation placement fee (if applicable). The remaining fees need to be paid in full 42 days before the start date. We accept credit card payment or wire transfers. Please make sure to cover all banking fees. CEL reserves the right to charge an additional $50 if you request more than 2 changes on your I-20.
