Before an F-1 visa for a public school can be issued, the student must show that the public school in the U.S. has been reimbursed for the full, unsubsidized per capita cost of the education as calculated by the school. Reimbursement may be indicated on the I-20, or consular officers may request copies of cancelled checks and/or receipts confirming the payment as needed
People who violate the restrictions may not receive another visa for a period of five years. The restrictions apply to students even if they are living with an American citizen or Legal Permanent Resident relative, even if that relative is the student's legal guardian.

College And Higher - Age 18 +
Obtain A U.S. Student Visa
Before you can apply for a visa, you must know what college or university you'll be attending. In order to obtain a student visa you must first apply to and be accepted at a school in the U.S. We will help in narrowing down the possible education providers and the student can then select which college or university best suits their needs and budget. We have our Partners in the USA with a thorough knowledge of the education system, who will assist in navigating the options according to your education and financial background.
Once you've been accepted and the college/university is satisfied that you can support yourself, the college/university will send you an I-20 form or Form DS-2019. These are the main documents you'll need before the process towards a student visa can start. Once you receive your I-20 from the college/universtiy, it's time to put together the other documents you'll need to apply for the visa. Students who plan on attending a four-year or two-year academic program should apply for the F-1 visa. For vocational programs there is a different visa category. There are several steps you need to follow first before being able to apply for the visa - we will guide you in these steps.
No IELTS, no problem. We can guide you towards the correct pathway for studies and obtaining your qualification if you do not have IELTS
There are various locations you can study at - provide us with your desired location and we will provide you with a list of colleges or universities that match your educational background and budget. Should you not have a preferred location, we can still recommend according to your budget. For select locations we will be able to assist with airport pick-up and accommodation arrangement.
Remember you will be interviewed by the U.S. Embassy. Should you need help in preparing, we can provide guidance in interview preparation. It is important that you bring with you the right documents and are prepared for the interview.
Be aware that if you submit false documents of any kind your application will be refused and you may become permanently ineligible for any type of U.S. visa. False documents may also be turned over to the police for investigation and prosecution.
