TYPES OF VISA

F-1 (Student Visa): The F-1 visa is for full-time students enrolled in an academic or
language program. F-1 students may stay in the US for the full length of their academic
program plus 60 days. F-1 students must maintain a full-time course load and complete
their studies by the expiration date listed on the I-20 form.

J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa): The J-1 visa is issued for students needing practical
training that is not available in their home country to complete their academic program.
The training must be directly related to the academic program. The J-1 visa obligates
the student to return to their home country for a minimum of two years after the end
of their studies in the US before being eligible to apply for an immigrant
(permanent residence) visa.

The rules and regulations governing the entrance of all international students into
the United States are complicated and should be properly looked into before
applying for a visa. The US is looking for genuine students. If you are one, you should
get the student visa. But you should prepare well for the visa process.

To all students applying for a student visa the following is the two-step advise that we can offer.

1. Get your documentation in order. Ensure that your documentation projects the financial position of your sponsor properly, and you as a genuine student who wishes to study in the US.

2. Plan to apply early
