Unable to claim American Opportunity Tax Credit for an eligible foreign university

[smith-kakar]

I am unable to claim American Opportunity Tax Credit for an eligible foreign university. I am studying master's in London, UK. The institution neither have the federal ID number nor they issue the 1098-T form. I entered all 9s for the EIN but it did not work and removed my eligibility for the AOTC. I am only able to avail lifetime learning credit at the moment. School code is available in the FAFSA code list but that is not the federal number. 

Kindly advise.
