IIFA English Learning Center/F-1 VISA International students - Skokie, Illinois

Jeth

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Illinois Institute of Fine Arts (IIFA) for their support in ensuring my stay in the U.S. remains legal. Your guidance has meant the world to me, and I can’t thank you enough. Navigating the legal process was tough, but with IIFA English Learning Center, I moved forward with confidence. Your kindness and generosity have had a lasting impact on my life, and I will always be grateful.

In 2009, I applied for a tourist visa to attend my sister’s wedding but was denied. Ten years later, my wife and I tried again and were granted a tourist visa. We visited my family, who are U.S. citizens, and spent time exploring life in America. After COVID restrictions eased, we returned in 2022, realizing we wanted to live here legally.

We knew it would take 15-20 years to immigrate via the petition pathway, so we focused on our business in the Philippines. But in 2024, I sought more knowledge to better lead our business, so we started looking for schools offering business marketing courses in Illinois. Some schools will just allow you to enroll with you alone doing the legwork in changing your status and some schools do in fact help you process it. Again I almost enrolled in those schools but before I signed my name, I checked the schools success rate for change status and sad to say their success rate is below 30%. If I had gone to those schools, my change of status would have probably been denied.

At IIFA, 100% of my classmates were approved for their status change. We discovered IIFA through word of mouth, and they immediately welcomed us. They offered flexible payment plans and guided us through the process of changing from tourist to student status. As I studied Business Marketing, I learned many stories of how the school positively impacted others’ cases. This is just one of the many ways IIFA has changed not only our education but also our lives.

I am deeply grateful to the IIFA for their invaluable support in making my student visa application a seamless and successful experience. The management, staff, teachers at IIFA are truly exceptional in their teaching, guidance, empowering us to turn our dreams of studying in the US into a reality. Having a reliable guide in a new and unfamiliar environment can be a game-changer, providing a sense of security and reassurance that is priceless. While financial resources are important, the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a supportive team behind you is truly irreplaceable. Receiving my F1 visa has alleviated a significant portion of concerns, giving me confidence and peace of mind to focus on my academic pursuits, knowing that I am on the right path with the help of kind and dedicated individuals who are invested in my success.

To those who have doubts about the legitimacy of this school, I encourage you to reconsider, as it is genuinely committed to providing a supportive environment and is taking a concrete regular classes and a strict attendance policy, it's clear that the school is dedicated to helping students achieve their goals.

For individuals seeking a reputable institution to pursue their dream to study in the US, I can highly recommend IIFA, where you can trust that you are in capable hands.

Thank you IIFA and more power.

My three-year journey at IIFA has been nothing short of amazing. The college provided me with a nurturing environment to grow academically and personally. I am especially grateful to the DSO she is only one who helped me in us like no one did to me. who were incredibly supportive throughout my time here. Whether it was guidance with paperwork, resolving queries, or simply being there for assistance, they went above and beyond in every way possible. These three years were truly memorable, and I feel well-prepared for the future thanks to the opportunities and support I received.

I came here as J1 visa, and changed my status to F-1 less than 3 months with the help of IIFA’s DSO also with the help of school director and staff. Professors are good and they guide and provide students needs. They truly care and understand every student situation.
