This requires completing the Form I-17, "Petition for Approval of School forAttendance by Nonimmigrant Student." The requirements depend on what typeof educational organization or institution will be applying. But generally, the organization will have to designate a school official to oversee the program(many organizations have an international study office as well), have state recognition and exemption, and provide a program of study statement. Schools that are not accredited will be required to provide more information about their courses of study and instructors/teachers.
