After you are fully admitted to UNT, you will receive an automated email from iNorthTX with login information to request immigration documents or submit documents relating to your current immigraiton status. Step-by-step instructions for all visa types can be found on our iNorthTX Help Page. Please allow at least 5-7 business days for document evaluation. Prospective F-1 visa students will receive an email once their I-20 has been issued. 

If you are traveling to enter the U.S. for Fall 2023, please print out our Entry Support Letter and carry it with you for both your visa appointment and your entry to the U.S.

Beginning November 8 at 12:01 EST, all nonimmigrants (for example, F1, J1, and H1B visa holders and their dependents) must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by an accepted vaccine. There are very limited exceptions to this rule. You can read more on our website HERE or through a professional analysis HERE. Please note, vaccination status will not impact your visa appointment or decision. You may proceed with your visa application and receive full vaccination status after.
