Student Visa Details

Any international student who wants to enter US student should get legal permission from the country, by applying to a nearby US embassy or consulate. There are mainly two types of studentvisas that exist for studying in the USA. 'F1 Visa' is the 'Student Visa' meant for students who enroll in any academic or language program. The students who get this F1 visa are allowed to be there in the country for the entire duration of the course and sixty more days. 'J1 Visa' is the second kind of student visa for pursuing studies in the USA, generally called as 'Exchange Visitor Visa'. This is issued for students needing practical training that is not available in their native country to complete their academic program.

In the latter case, the training must be directly related to the academic program. The J1 visa obligates international students to return to their native land for a minimum of two years after the completion of their studies in the US before being eligible to apply for an immigrant or permanent visa. The essential and most important documents generally required for getting the US student visa are a valid passport given by the country you belong, your recent passport sized photographs and a non-immigrant visa application available from the Consular section.

Evidence of financial ability to cover the costs of the education and maintenance involved is needed and visa fee is to be paid in the currency form of your native country by a Bank Draft. You will be asked to provide details like income details of your parents, your average annual living expenses, details of your and your parents' property assets and sources of funding for your education other than from the university or the school. However, the students are advised to seek the help from the respective embassy offices or consulates for the exact details.
