International Students

The Catholic Church has always made every effort to welcome all nationalities into her community of faith. In order to further this effort, the Diocese of Arlington will endeavor to remain certified by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to admit F-1 (Non-Immigrant) students. The F-1 (Non-Immigrant) student status applies to those aliens who are in the United States for the purpose of attending school. The Diocese provides the following policies for enrolling international students:
