Students Visa
The non-immigrant visas F-1 and M-1 (Student Visas) grant foreign-citizens the opportunity to enter the United States to fulfill their studies as Full-time students. The F-1 Student Visa, also known as, Academic Student Visa, entitles the applicant to study as a Full-time Student in the United States in a qualified college, university, conservatory, elementary or academic high school, language training program or other scholar institution. The qualified academic institution must be officially authorized by the U.S. government to permit international students to register in their programs. The student has to be enrolled in any program, which will ultimately grant him with recognition of his/her achievement (a degree, diploma or certificate). M-1 Student Visa, also known as Vocational Visa, grants visitors admission into the United States to study in vocational or other nonacademic programs, such as auto repair, business courses, technical occupations and others.
Students interested in obtaining either an F-1 or M-1 Visa must be: 1) registered to become proficient in the English language or already be proficient. 2) officially registered in a language-training, vocational or educational program, 3) registered as a full-time student in an institution approved by the USCIS, 4) able to pay for all expenses for the trip to the U.S. and during his/her stay and 5) able to maintain a foreign permanent dwelling outside the U.S. without any intentions to abandon it. Applicants who already were admitted in the United States with a B-1 Visitor Visa may file an Application to Extend/Change Non-immigrant Status, to change their non-immigrant status to F-1 or M-1, if they wish to study in the United States.
