US Student Visas
Overview: A US student visa is your legal key to studying in America. It opens classrooms, libraries, and opportunities—while setting clear rules you must follow. Know the terms, and you protect both your education and your stay.
The U.S. immigration law provides three non-immigrant visa categories for study in the United States:
- The “F” visa for academic studies
- The “T” visa for cultural and educational exchange programs and
- The “M” visa for nonacademic or vocational studies
In order to obtain a student visa, the applicant must first apply to and be accepted at a school/educational institute in the U.S. Once accepted by the institute, the institute will forward a form called the I-20 or Form DS-2019, depending on the type of programme. The applicant can then make an appointment for a visa interview.
