How To Apply USA Student Visa || Student Visa For USA || Study In Abroad

Your F-1 (student) visa will be issued by your country's US embassy or consulate. The visa grants you the privilege of entering the US through a Port of Entry. The visa (a stamp or printed form with a photograph of the recipient on it) is added to your passport. The visa is one of several documents that you must obtain and keep valid to maintain your status.

What is a US Visa? The visa will indicate the consular post where it was issued, date that it was issued, the date that it expires, the visa class (or type), a visa number, and the number of entries permitted. You should check to ensure all information on the visa is accurate and matches the information on your other documents.

Before applying for your visa, you must be fully accepted for admission into the program for which you have applied. Once you are accepted for admission, have confirmed your commitment to enroll in the program of your choice, and have provided evidence of financial support, you will be sent a Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status (Form I-20). This will be sent to the mailing address provided on your application for admission unless you indicate that you wish it sent to an alternative address. Be sure to allow sufficient time for your documents to arrive.

After receiving your form I-20, you should review it to be sure that all information is correct before making an appointment at the embassy or consulate for your interview. You should then pay the required SEVIS fee, obtain your receipt, and make your interview appointment. When you contact consular services to make your appointment, you should also ask the consular official to provide a list of all other items needed.

Apply for your visa as early as possible. In some countries there is a lengthy wait time. See the Visa Appointment Wait Time tool for an estimate. When your visa is issued, check to make sure that all the information is correct – your name (just as it is on your passport and on the form I-20), your birth date, the visa class, our school name, etc. If there are any errors, ask the consular official to correct them before your leave the consulate.

Keep in mind that it will take approximately three weeks from the time that your documents are sent for them to arrive. Then, depending upon your country of residence and the work-load of the consular officials, it may take several additional weeks for you to get your interview. You should usually plan to have the admissions/enrollment confirmation process complete at least three months before classes are scheduled to begin.
