While still considered the New York metropolitan area, NLS is located in the heart of Northern New Jersey. New York City is about 15 minutes away by train or car and about 20 minutes by bus. Public transportation is conveniently available less than 1 minute of a walking distance from our school.

Do you accept F-1 Visa students?

Yes, we do! NLS is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students.

Our application process is very simple! Please fill out the online application form and submit your document via the account you created.

Do you offer online English courses?

Yes, we do. If your desire is to learn English online, all you need is to enroll online English courses offered by Nile Language School as it makes sure that learning English isn’t limited to a traditional classroom. In fact, NLS’ online English courses are designed to keep students engaged in communication and guide them in a student-friendly manner ideal for both remote learners and traditional students considering enhancing their abilities outside of a conventional framework. F1 students are not eligible to enroll in online courses.

Do you provide the Form I20?

NLS is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students. I-20 is a ”Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status” for F1 student visa which we issue after you have been accepted into the NLS program. You will need the Form I-20 in order to apply for F1 visa at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

What is the difference between I20 and F1?

The Form I-20 is a ”Certificate of Eligibility” for F-1 Student Status. A nonimmigrant who applies for F-1 visa needs the Form I-20 to apply for F-1 visa at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy.

–The Form I-20 is a document confirming that a student has been admitted to a full-time study program at a government-approved educational institution and has demonstrated sufficient financial resources to stay in the United States.

–The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows you to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, other academic institutions, or at a language training program. You must be enrolled in a program or course of study that culminates in a degree, diploma, or certificate, and your school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students.

How will NLS evaluate my proficiency level in English?

On or before your first day at NLS, you will take a Placement Test that checks your grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, and reading skills. You will be placed in a course based on the test results.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. You will receive the NLS Certificate upon a successful completion of a level (e.g. advanced level). You may also request a Progress Report that illustrates the progress made during your course of study at NLS.

Can I study part-time at NLS?

The United States federal and immigration law requires that F-1 students study full-time ONLY. If you are already in the U.S. or hold a visa other than F1, you may enroll in NLS’ semi-intensive classes as a part-time student.

What documents should I carry with me during my travel to the USA?

Your passport with F-1 visa stamp and Form I-20 are the most important documents and you will need to present them at the customs while entering the USA. When you travel within the USA or to/from the USA, carry them with you at all times and remember to put them in your handbag.
