Hi Metta, thanks for your help! I have two follow-up questions regarding summer session. A) The visa: some people say that F1 is not a must for ESL Program.
Students could attend the program with a visitor visa, i.e. B1/B2. Is that true? If so, do you issue documents for B1/B2 visa?

您好,学生可以用B1-B2签证来美国,但是学校不能签署B1-B2的签证文件,一般学校提供一张学生被夏令营已经录取的官方信函就可以帮助学生办理B1-B2签证。北野山是要求参加夏令营或者一年学术课程的学生都要签F1学生签证的,我们可以发F1签证文件给学生。如果学生F1签证被领馆拒签,学校会退回押金。

Hello again,
We do require F-1 Visas for all students who attend our summer school or our full-year academic program. We do not issue tourist visas, but we do issue F-1 visas. If a student is not granted an F-1 visa from the US Embassy/Consulate in their country, their deposit will be refunded. -
Sorry, just to clarfiy, students may also come on a B1/B2 visa - but we do not issue them. We just provide you with a letter stating that you have been accepted in the NMH Summer School Program.
