The United States offers student visas that allow international students to pursue academic, vocational, or exchange programs. Each visa type has specific requirements, but all are designed to promote education, cultural exchange, and professional training opportunities while ensuring compliance with U.S. immigration law.

  • F-1 Visa – For full-time academic students at approved institutions; requires proof of funds and allows limited work and practical training.
  • J-1 Visa – For exchange visitors including students, researchers, and professionals; often subject to a two-year home residency requirement.
  • M-1 Visa – For vocational or non-academic students in recognized training programs; covers a wide range of post-secondary education options.
