Let’s understand more about the student visa to study in the United States.
Key aspects to consider when it comes to the US visa:
1. More than 30 days: Students on F1 visas can obtain their visa up to 365 days before the start of their course, but are not permitted to enter the U.S. before 30 days before the start date of their program.
And if one intends to enter earlier than 30 days before the start date, one must apply and qualify separately for a visitor visa.
2. Application fee:There is a $185 non-refundable application fee that is payable prior to the visa interview.
3. Visa interview:During the visa interview, you must bring these documents: passport, nonimmigrant visa application (Form DS-160), receipt of payment of the application fee, photograph, and Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status (F-1) for Academic and Language Students, Form I-20.
4. Proof of funds:You must show that you have funds equivalent to your tuition fees plus living expenses for one year. Fees and living expenses, as you might expect, vary from university to university and the city in which you plan to stay.
