The process of obtaining the proper documents for a student visa begins after acceptance to Georgetown Law.
International JD students should contact the Admissions Office for visa information.
The Admissions Office automatically sends instructions to admitted graduate students on how to request the I-20 or DS-2019 form necessary to obtain your visa. Georgetown will send you this "Certificate of Eligibility" after you have confirmed your intention to enroll in the LL.M. program and have paid your tuition deposit.
When you receive the I-20 or DS-2019 form, you must take it to the U.S. Embassy in your country and apply for a student entry visa which the U.S. Embassy will put in your passport.
Only after you obtain the student entry visa can you enter the U.S. and have student status.
We strongly recommend that you can consult the website at www.unitedstatesvisas.gov to learn more about U.S. visa policies and procedures, and to get updates on recent developments.
Additional visa information can be found on Georgetown Law's Student Visa website.
