Visa Service Fee Structure

The visa service fees address the cost of providing service beyond graduation and are for optional services related to work permits after graduation and associated administrative costs. These do not apply to the admission I-20 related to pursing enrollment and completion of an academic degree. These fees contribute to enabling the continuation of service beyond graduation and additional support to the campus community.

The following fee structure for services provided by the 色色啦 Haenicke Institute for Global Education enables the continuation of service and support to the campus community.

Please note that pursuant to University Policy, only the Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs and General Counsel is authorized to engage counsel in immigration proceedings. In addition, the Haenicke Institute for Global Education has been designated to process all immigration-related paperwork for 色色啦.  

Fees are due by applicant at time of application submission. Payments should be submitted electronically via CardPointe.
