Want to study in the United States?
Bennett Grossman can
help.
Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. You must have a student visa to study in the United States. Your course of study and the type of school you plan to attend determine whether you need an F-1 visa or an M-1 visa.
Students cannot travel on the Visa Waiver Program or with Visitor Visas
Citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) participating countries who intend to study cannot travel on the VWP or on visitor (B) visas, except to undertake recreational study as part of a tourist visit. Students must travel to the United States with student (F-1 or M-1) visas.
Types of Education Visas
F visa: This visa is to enter the U.S. to attend college, high school, private elementary school, seminary, conservatory or another academic institution, including a language training program.
M visa: This visa is to attend a vocation or other recognized nonacademic institution, other than a language training program.
J visa: This visa is issued to research scholars, professors and exchange visitors participating in programs that promote cultural exchange, especially to obtain medical or business training within the U.S.
