Student Visas for International Students
The United States boasts about 1,500 public and private universities for students who wish to expand their knowledge and awareness. Thus, it is no surprise that an estimated 625,000 international students flock to these schools each year in order to gain an education and a new experience in a different country.
There are two main types of student visas for studying in the United States: F visas for academic studies, and M visas for nonacademic or vocational learning. If you want to attend high school, college, seminary, and other places of education in the U.S., contact an Orange County Immigration attorney from Garg & Associates today at 949-540-6704 to help you reach your dreams.
Requirements for Student Visas
Although the U.S. welcomes international students, you must first show that you are only going to stay for a temporary amount of time and that you have significant ties to your home nation so that you will return after completing school. Besides establishing these facts, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will also look at the following:
- Scholastic readiness – proficiency in English or enrollment in English courses, preparation for the classes that you intend to take
- Reliable financial support – the ability to pay for both tuition and living expenses
- Acceptance into a USCIS-approved school – full-time student status
