Get a U.S. Visa

NYU's Office of Global Services (OGS) will assist you in the process of obtaining your visa to study in the US. Visit the Get a U.S. Visa websitefor next steps. Please be sure to apply for these credentials as quickly as possible, at least 8 weeks before classes start, as it may take a long time to process your paperwork and obtain your U.S. visa. Use overnight and express mail wherever possible.

If you’re currently in the US at another school or recently completed your program at another US school and need to transfer your immigration record to NYU, please review the Office of Global Services' instructions to transfer to NYU.

Contact the OGS directly if you have any questions concerning your visa:
