International Student Program
Grades 9-12
RCCA is a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certified school for 9th -12th grade students.
SEVP certification allows institutions to issue Forms I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," to prospective international students after admitting them for a program of study. Prospective international students then use the Form I-20 to apply for a F-1 visa to enter the United States. The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows you to enter the United States as a full-time student.

Once RCCA receives the online application, application fee ($200), and all required documents, our School Administrator, Mrs. Jeni Chase will be given the application and review them. Once she is completed, she will then schedule a zoom meeting with the prospective student and parents. This process can take several weeks to complete.
After administrator approval and acceptance into the academy, RCCA will require a non-refundable $200 I-20 processing fee/deposit (within 5 days). Once RCCA receives the non-refundable $200, an I-20 Form (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student) will be issued to the student by our academy.
The student will then be required to:
-
Complete DS-160 visa application & pay the application fee @ https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/
-
Pay SEVIS fee @ https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html
-
Schedule an interview appointment with embassy or consulate @ https://www.usembassy.gov/
