US STUDENT VISA (ACADEMIC AND VOCATIONAL)

Posted by Feerojkumar On 09:22 No comments



If you would like to study as a full-time student in the United States, you will need a student visa. There are two nonimmigrant visa categories for persons wishing to study in the United States. These visas are commonly known as the F and M visas.
F-1 Student Visa
The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows you to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program. You must be enrolled in a program or course of study that culminates in a degree, diploma, or certificate and your school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students.
M-1 Student Visa
The M-1 visa (Vocational Student) category includes students in vocational or other nonacademic programs, other than language training.

ELIGIBILITY FOR F-1 AND M-1 VISAS

To be eligible for F-1 or M-1 visa category:
  • You must be enrolled in an "academic" educational program, a language-training program, or a vocational program
  • Your school must be approved by USCIS
  • You must be enrolled as a full-time student at the institution (Once you are enrolled you will be issued a I-20 form from the institute which is needed for your visa application)
  • You must be proficient in English or be enrolled in courses leading to English proficiency
  • You must have sufficient funds available for self-support during the entire proposed course of study
  • You must maintain a permanent residence abroad which you have no intention of giving up.
F-1 and M-1 visa applicants may also be required to meet certain health and character requirements.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS VISA ?

F-1 students may not work off-campus during the first academic year, but may accept on-campus employment subject to certain conditions and restrictions, M-1 students may engage in practical training only after they have completed their studies.
For both F-1 and M-1 students any off-campus employment must be related to their area of study and must be authorized prior to starting any work by the Designated School Official.
Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age may apply to join their spouse or parent in the US.
