FILM SCHOOL - FILMMAKING - INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS INFO

Digital Film Academy is authorized to enroll foreign students who wish to attend film school.
We issue Certificates of Eligibity for M-1 student visas.

Please take notice - visas take time to process. We strongly suggest that you contact Admissions at info@digitalfilmacademy.com after you apply to the school, to start the process!

An I-20 Certificate of Eligibility is needed in order to apply for a student visa at a US Consulate. Canadians do not need to apply for a visa, but do need the I-20 to enter the US in student status.

To obtain an I-20
First apply to the film school (either online or by mailing or faxing an application). International Students are required to provide a 25% tuition deposit and fill out an I-20 application with the enrollment application. Once registered, we will process the I-20 application and send to you to take to the US Embassy or Consulate.

You will need to provide evidence that you have the funds available to pay for the entire cost of your tuition and living expenses.
An interview at a US Embassy or Consulate is required to apply for a visa. It can take from a few days to a few months to get an interview, please contact the US Embassy in your country to determine how long it takes to get an interview and be granted a visa.

If you are currently in the US as a student on an M-1 or F-1 visa you can transfer your I-20 to Digital Film Academy's film school. Also if you are currently in the US on a tourist or other visa, Digital Film Academy can submit a change of status to M-1 for you to study at DFA. Please contact the International Office of Admissions for more information.

Complete the documents and email to: visa@digitalfilmacademy.com. You will receive a response within 24 - 48 hours.
