What is Required to Apply for a US Student Visa
Download the F-1 Student Visa Application Guide.
Select where in the U.S. you would like to live and study.
Choose the type of school you would like to attend, such as: University, College, Graduate School, ESL (English as Second Language) or Vocational School.
Contact the school and start the admission process.
Upon acceptance by school, the school will issue you an I-20 form (the required document you need to apply for F-1 student visa).
With the I-20 form and the F-1 Visa Application Guide you can apply for a student visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. If you are already in the Unites States you may be allowed change your immigration status to student.
You may be legally authorized to work in the United States while on a F-1 student visa.
Interview
As part of the visa application process, an interview at the embassy consular section is required for visa applicants from age 14 through 79. Persons age 13 and younger, and age 80 and older, generally do not require an interview, unless requested by embassy or consulate.
The waiting time for an interview appointment for applicants can vary, so apply EARLY. It is important to remember that applying early and providing the requested documents does not guarantee that the student will receive a visa.
