Student Visa Eligibility and Application Process

To study in the U.S., you need to apply for the appropriate visa based on your academic program. Here’s an overview of the types of student visas:

  • F-1 Visa: For academic studies at universities, colleges, private schools, and language training programs.
  • M-1 Visa: For vocational schools or nonacademic institutions.
  • B Visa: For short-term recreational studies.

Steps to Apply for a Student Visa:

  1. Apply and Get Accepted: The first step is to apply and be accepted by a school that is part of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
  2. File Form I-20: Once accepted, the school will provide Form I-20, which you’ll need to apply for a visa.
  3. Visa Application: Depending on your country of residence, you may need to apply through a U.S. embassy or consulate. We’ll ensure you file the correct application and paperwork.

The Student Visa Interview

Many applicants will be required to attend a visa interview. For those under 13 or over 80, an interview is usually not required. Here’s what you may need to bring:

  • Passport: Valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay.
  • Form DS-160: Confirmation page from your visa application.
  • Visa Application Fee: Receipt of payment.
  • Form I-20: Your certificate of eligibility.
  • Proof of Academics: Diplomas, certificates, transcripts, and standardized test scores.
  • Proof of Financial Support: Evidence showing you can afford tuition, living expenses, and travel costs.

Our team will help you prepare all documents for your interview and ensure you meet all the requirements.

Don’t Let Visa Challenges Derail Your Education

It’s essential to ensure that you’re eligible and prepared for the visa process, even after being accepted to a school. Many students unknowingly face barriers such as inadmissibility or incomplete documentation, which can delay or prevent visa approval.
