A foreign national who would like to study as a full-time student in the United States must obtain a student visa. The following types of visas are available for students:

  • F-1 Visa– allows the student to enter the United States to attend an accredited college or university.
  • M-1 Visa– allows the student to enter the country to attend a non-academic institution in the United States.
  • J-1 Visa– allows the student to enter the United States to participate in a student exchange program.

To enter the United States on F-1, M-1 or J-1 Visa the student must meet the following criteria:
