Please note that visa processing times may vary quite a bit from country to country. After you are accepted by Foothill and receive the Form I-20, you should plan carefully to have sufficient time for a visa interview and other required formalities. You can check visa wait times for interview appointments in your country, or refer to additional instructions in the Visa Application section of our Web site.
Applicants from the U.S.:
If you are already in the United States studying with an F-1 visa at another college, university or language school, the application deadline may generally be extended by three more weeks.
Make sure you follow special transfer procedures when transferring to Foothill College from another U.S. college, university or language school.
If you are in the United States on another visa (such as J-1, F-2, etc.) and would like to change to F-1 to study at Foothill full-time, please check with our International Admissions Coordinator at foothillinternational@foothill.edu or at 1-650-949-7293 for more information on extended deadlines.
