F-1 Visa for Students 
Change of Status

The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows a citizen of a foreign country to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program. You must be enrolled in a program or course of study that concludes in a degree, diploma, or certificate and your school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students. 

Qualification 

To be eligible for an F1 visa, you must prove that: 
  • You have successfully completed a course of study normally required for enrollment

  • You have been accepted for a full course of study by an educational institution approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). 

    Note: The institution must send you a USCIS Form I-20A-B, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant F1 Student Status for Academic and Language Students

  • You are sufficiently proficient in English to pursue the intended course of study, or the school you intend to attend has made special arrangements to teach you the English language or conduct the course in your native language.

    Note: You may be exempt from this requirement if you intend to come to the U.S. to participate exclusively in an English language-training program

  • You have sufficient funds to cover the first year of study, and access to sufficient funds to cover subsequent years

  • You have a permanent residence in your home country, which you do not intend to abandon

  • You intend to depart the U.S. upon completion of the course of study. You may establish this by presenting evidence of economic, social and/or family ties in your homeland sufficient to induce you to leave the U.S. upon completion of studies

  • Your proposed education in the U.S. would be useful in your homeland, and therefore induce you to leave the U.S. upon completion of studies
