INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Academy of Massage Therapy is approved by the Department of Homeland Security (formerly called the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)) to issue I-20's to foreign, non-immigrant students through the SEVIS program.

The Department of Homeland Security requires that you provide documentation of financial resources needed to pay for your course of study and other living expenses while attending school in the United States of America. If possible, prospective students should secure the appropriate financial support documents prior to contacting AMT for admission purposes.

The process to secure an I-20 student visa can take several weeks, so international students should submit an application to the school as soon as possible to ensure all approvals are issued by Homeland Security in time for the start of your program.

Our staff of trained I-20 specialists will work personally with each committed international student to help make the visa process go as smoothly as possible. In addition, the Academy of Massage Therapy works with several immigration attorneys that can assist you in the visa process.

The Academy of Massage Therapy does require a $2,000.00 refundable tuition deposit in order to process an I-20 application through the SEVIS system.
