For F-1 visa students - Within two business days after we review your complete application with required documents, an admission packet will be created for you. This packet contains a Tulsa Community College acceptance letter and your I-20. The I-20 is an official document that confirms your acceptance as an international student in the U.S.

We will email you when your admission packet (including your I-20) is ready. The email contains the names of three mailing companies. You will need to select a company and pay the mailing fee. After we receive a confirmation of your payment, we will mail your packet to you.

You must bring the entire admission packet to the U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country. Before you make an appointment for an interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy, make sure to pay your SEVIS and visa fee online. The wait time for an interview varies from country to country. Check the U.S. State Department website to learn more about how to prepare a visa application.

As soon as you receive your F-1 visa, please email us at iss@tulsacc.edu so that we can plan for your arrival. When you enter the U.S., show the immigration officer:

• Your I-20 Form
• Your passport with a valid student visa

After you arrive in Tulsa, you must come to the TCC International Student Services Office within one business day. We will make a copy of your visa and I-20, and explain the steps you must take to get enrolled.
