Do You Need a U.S. Student Visa?
If you wish to study full-time in the U.S. and to attend a university, college, high school, private elementary school, seminary, conservatory, or another academic institution, including a language training program, you will need to apply for and obtain a U.S. Student visa.
Unless canceled or revoked, a visa is valid until its expiration date. Applicants for Student visas must be able to prove that they are not coming to the country to immigrate illegally, but rather for the purposes included under the visa.
However, if you are not planning to study full-time, you will not be eligible for a Student visa. If you plan to study for 6 months or less, and to attend a part-time and not towards a degree program, you can enter the U.S. with a Visitor visa. Having a Visitor visa allows you to take a short recreational course of study. This course must not be for credit toward a degree or academic certificate. Learn more about Visitor Visas.
Are You Eligible for a U.S. Student Visa?
Even though the U.S. Student Visa requirements are the same for all applications, the U.S. Department of State staff and the Consular officer might have additional requirements. We are here to carefully review your case and make sure you meet all the conditions.
As an applicant, you must:
- Have a valid passport. The validity date must be at least 6 months beyond your intended period of stay (unless exempted).
- Attend a study course leading to a U.S. conferred degree or certificate.
- Be accepted to a SEVP-approved school in the U.S.
- Be registered in SEVIS.
- Have a receipt for the SEVIS fee.*
- Have a common carrier ticket or other evidence of transportation arrangements to and from the U.S.
- Have sufficient funds to cover your travel, accommodation, and other expenses while in the United States.
- Have proof of academic preparation.
- Have a residence outside the United States, as well as other binding ties to your home country, that will ensure your departure from the United States at the end of your visit.
* If your spouse and/or children intend to live with you in the United States while you study, they must also enroll in SEVIS, obtain individual forms from the SEVP-approved school, and apply for a visa – but they do not pay the SEVIS fee.

How to Get a U.S. Student Visa?
To apply for a Student Visa you will be required to be accepted to a SEVP-approved school, pay the SEVIS fee, fill out your online non-immigrant visa application, gather all necessary documentation, schedule, and attend an interview with a Consular officer.
File your application with the U.S. Department of State
In this initial step, you will need to gather all necessary documents and supporting evidence, fill in the online non-immigration visa application form, and file it with the U. S. Department of State. We are here to help you from the very beginning and streamline the process.
Schedule your Embassy interview appointment
Once you submit your online non-immigration visa application, you will receive the confirmation number for your application. Use the confirmation number and the MRV fee receipt to schedule your Embassy Interview. We offer step-by-step assistance throughout the process.
Attend the Embassy interview
During the interview, you will answer a series of questions regarding your background and upcoming travels, to prove that your visa case is genuine. You might also be required to present additional information and proof. You will usually get a determination whether or not your visa is approved at the end of the interview. We’re here to support you along the way, streamline the entire process, and boost your visa approval chances.
