What is the U.S. Student Visa?
The U.S. student visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows international students to pursue studies in the United States. Depending on your program, you may need one of the following:
- F-1 Visa (Academic Studies): For students enrolled in a full-time degree program, language training, or academic studies at an accredited U.S. institution.
- M-1 Visa (Vocational Studies): For students pursuing non-academic or vocational training programs.
- J-1 Visa (Exchange Visitor Program): For students participating in exchange programs, including internships, practical training, or study abroad programs.
Each visa type has unique requirements and conditions, and our experts can help you determine which one is right for you.
