Letter from BU

Dear Chee Peng:

Welcome to Boston University! As you prepare to join our community, I would like to remind you of the F-1 visa application process. In your Admission packet, you should have received the Form I-20 and your admission letter, which are necessary for the F-1 student visa appointment at a United States Embassy or Consulate. If you do not have these documents, please contact me at 617-353-4492 or via e-mail at ktarpley@bu.edu. For more information about the visa application process, please see the Visa Information on our website.

Before your appointment at an Embassy or Consulate, please review your Form I-20 carefully. The information on the form must match the information in your passport. If any information is incorrect, please let our office know immediately.

If you took exams such as the A-levels, IB, Abitur, or French Baccalaureate, you may be eligible for advanced credit. Please visit our website for specific information on advanced credit awarded for high scores on these, and other, exams.

My colleagues and I in International Admissions are available to answer any questions you may have. We can be reached by phone at 617-353-4492 or via e-mail at intadmis@bu.edu. We look forward to your arrival on campus this fall!

Sincerely,

Katherine Tarpley
International Student Advisor
