There are two nonimmigrant
visa categories available to people wishing to study in the United States.
The "F" visa is available to nonimmigrants wishing to pursue
academic studies and/or language training programs, and the "M"
visa is reserved for nonimmigrants intending to engage in nonacademic
or vocational studies.
Foreign students seeking to study in the U.S. may enter in the F-1 or
M-1 category provided they meet the following criteria:
- The student must
be enrolled in an "academic" educational program, a language-training
program, or a vocational program;
- The school must
be approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS);
- The student must
be enrolled as a full-time student at the institution;
- The student must
be proficient in English or be enrolled in courses leading to English
proficiency;
- The student must
have sufficient funds available for self-support during the entire proposed
course of study; and
- The student must
maintain a residence abroad which he/she has no intention of giving
up.
