Visa processing support for you
Our team of trained officers is well versed with the latest visa
requirements and procedures and can advice the students on the same. A few
important points in Visa processing are given below
Visa Categories
There are two nonimmigrant visa categories for persons wishing to study
in the United States (a nonimmigrant is someone admitted to the U.S.
temporarily):
- "F" visa includes academic students in colleges, universities,
seminaries,conservatories, academic high schools, other academic
Institutions, and in language training.
- "M" visa is for people wishing to pursue nonacademic or vocational
studies.
Acceptance by an institute / university
You must be accepted as a full-time student in a U.S. academic
educational program, language-training program, or vocational program. The
school must be approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS), and the school must send you a Form I-20 (which it receives from
the (USCIS). If you are accepted, the school should give you USCIS Form I-20
A-B/ID (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status -
for Academic and Language Students)
Financial resources
Before you can come to the United States as a student, you must prove
that sufficient funds are, or will be, available from an identified and
reliable financial source to take care of all living and school expenses
during the period of your study in the U.S
Apply for a visa
If you require a visa, you should generally apply at the U.S. Embassy or
Consulate with jurisdiction over your place of permanent residence. Although
you may apply at any U.S. consular office abroad, it may be more difficult
to qualify for the visa outside your country of permanent residence. Our
counselors will help you through with the application process.
