An F1 visa lets foreign students study in the U.S. full-time at a SEVP-approved university. An F1 visa costs roughly $510 per application, and you must apply at least three months before the start of your program. On an F1 visa, part-time employment is restricted. You may be allowed to work on campus at the University of your Choice, but hours are limited, and demand is high.

U.S. student visa procedure in detail

  • Acceptance into an academic program: The international student office of your chosen college will send you an I-20 form. This form must be kept secure, as it is required for your visa interview.
  • Register with SEVIS and pay the $350 fee: The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System must receive payment before the DS-160 may be processed.
  • Fill up and submit your payment for an application online for a non-immigrant visa (DS-160, $160): You must also provide any further paperwork that may be required, as well as upload a photo of yourself that adheres to certain requirements.
  • Schedule a visa interview appointment at your home country’s U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Your previous test scores and financial situation will be discussed throughout this interview.
  • Receive a decision: You should receive an application decision at your interview.
  • S. visas for dependents (F2); If your spouse or children accompany you during your studies in the United States, they must apply for and be granted an F2 visa. Before your university issues your I-20, notify them of any children under 21 or spouse who will be joining you in the United States. You will then receive their I-20 forms in addition to your own.
  • Before sending you the documents, your university may require proof that you can support yourself and any dependents.
