Disclosure:
SUM is permitted by the US Department of Homeland Security to issue I-20; however, the United States embassy has the final authority for student visa approval. SUM does not provide English training for international students who lack the English language skills required to pass the TOEFL. SUM will assist the international student in securing his or her I-20, but the student is responsible for all financial requirements and fees.
