The United States give opportunity to foreign citizens who come to the U.S. to study. Before applying for a visa, all student visa applicants are required to be accepted and approved by their school or program. Once accepted, educational institutions will provide each applicant the necessary approval documentation to be submitted when applying for a student visa. Students can apply within 120 days from the start date of I-20 and can travel within 30 days from the start date of I-20.
F-1 Visa for Students
This is the most common type of student visa. If a student wish to
engage in academic studies in the United States at an approved
school, such as an accredited U.S. college or university, private
secondary school, or approved English language program then the
student need an F-1 visa. The student will also need an F-1 visa if
the course of study is more than 18 hours a week.
M-1 Visa for Students
If a student plan engage in non-academic or vocational study or
training at a U.S. institution then the student need an M-1 visa.
U.S. Public Schools
U.S. law does not permit foreign students to attend public
elementary school (kindergarten to 8th grade) or a publicly funded
adult education program. Hence, F-1 visas cannot be issued for study
at such schools.
An F-1 visa can be issued for attendance at a public secondary
school (grades 9 to 12), but the student is limited to a maximum of
12 months at the school. The school must also indicate on the Form
I-20 that the student has paid the unsubsidized cost of the
education and the amount submitted by the student for that purpose.
Note: Holders of A, E, F-2, G, H-4, J-2, L-2, M-2 or other
derivative nonimmigrant visas may enroll in public elementary and
secondary schools.
