What are the documents required for a Student Visa?
Before your Visa interview, you will need the following documents:
a passport (original and photocopied),
a nonimmigrant visa application (DS-160 form),
application fee receipt,
a photo (which you must upload online on the DS-160 form),
and, depending on the type of school you applied to, a study permit and proof of financial stability.
Which Student Visa Should You Apply For?
You should apply for an F1 Visa if you want to attend a university/college, high school, private elementary school, seminary, conservatory, or another academic institution such as a language training program.
You should apply for the F2 Visa if you want to accompany an F1 Visa holder as their spouse or child.
If you plan on visiting the United States for a short period of time, a visitor Visa (B) is the best option.
Is obtaining an F2 Visa difficult?
Given that F2 Visas are dependent student visas, obtaining one is not difficult as long as you have all of the necessary documentation. Financial proof is required because it is critical to be able to financially support yourself if you travel to the United States.
Is the United States the best place for you to pursue your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree?
Although studying in the United States may appear difficult or unsuitable for you, if you are a hardworking student seeking to advance your career prospects in a culturally diverse environment, the United States is the right place for you.
Not only does the United States offer a diverse range of academic fields, but it also offers internship programs designed specifically for international students to assist them in advancing their professional careers and allowing them to remain in the United States and obtain better-paying jobs after graduation.
What restrictions do F2 Visa holders face?
Aside from the flexibility and freedom that F2 Visa holders enjoy, they are subject to a few limitations.
They are not allowed to work in the United States with an F2 Visa, pursue a degree there, obtain a Social Security Number, or enter America before their F1 Visa holder.
The following are three things that every international student should be aware of before the interview!
To begin, double-check that you have all of the necessary documents for the interview (the most important one being the study permit from the university you applied to).
Second, most embassies or consulates ask the same questions, so prepare ahead of time by practicing what you want to say.
Third, don’t forget to mention that you want to return to your home country after graduation, and keep your response short but clear!
Where do you submit your application for the F1 Visa?
Even if you submit your application online, you must print it because the visa application is made on the day of the interview at the US Embassy or Consulate.
Remember to schedule an interview and gather all of the required documents, which you can find on our page!
