Student Visa
A Student Visa allows foreign nationals to study legally in the United States at accredited educational institutions, such as universities, colleges, high schools, and language programs. There are two main types of student visas:
​
-
F-1 Visa – For academic studies at universities, colleges, high schools, and English language programs.
-
​
-
M-1 Visa – For vocational or technical training programs.
Who Can Apply for a Student Visa?
To be eligible for a Student Visa, you must:
✅ Be accepted by a SEVP-approved school (Student and Exchange Visitor Program).
