- "IIE took some time to send me the information I asked, but now I think I have all I need. They sent me an e-mail two days ago with the informations about academic training and they will send me another e-mail as soon as my Letter of Support is avaiable. The academic training verification form is already avaiable, however they asked the students to wait for the upcoming webinar where they will give instructions about the academic training and how to fill the academic training form. As soon as my form is complete, I will need your signature in it. Also, I´m sending you my health insurance document attached in this e-mail."
