As a general rule, we advise international intended parents to plan on returning home
after 2 - 4
weeks, to allow ample time for any DNA testing, court proceedings, the
issuance of any birth certificates and the application for any visas and / or passports.
Normally this document is valid for 30 days
after issuance, however, if a student is taking a summer class they should get the Verification of Enrollment the last
week of class.
