Before Applying, Make Sure You Have Financial Support
If you are thinking that you’ll pay for your education by working when you get to the U.S., think again. There are tight restrictions placed upon those who enter the U.S. on a student visa. During the first year of studies, a student may not be employed off-campus. There are two exceptions to this. If employment is off-campus, it must be either educationally related or educationally affiliated.
After the first year of study, the USCIS could choose to grant permission for a student to accept off-campus employment, upon the recommendation of the school. Whatever the work situation, whether on-campus or off-campus, students are only permitted to work a maximum of 20 hours per week.
This means that students will typically have to rely on other financial means, such as scholarships, grants, savings, or gifts to pay for schooling and living expenses while in the U.S.
Do I Need an F Visa or an M Visa?
The majority of students seeking to study in the U.S. will need to obtain an F Visa.
You will need an F Visa if you wish to attend:
- Private elementary school
- High school
- College or university
- Seminary
- Conservatory
- Another academic institution, including language training programs
If you plan on attending a vocational or other non-academic institution, you will need to obtain an M Visa.

My family and I are forever grateful for Mrs Meaders and her hard work. I recently found myself in a dire situation and needed an immigration attorney who was going to fight for me. Mrs Meaders did that for me and more. I am so grateful that she kept lines of communication open with my family and answered all the questions we had in a timely and respectful manner. She is very knowledgeable and very helpful. My family hired Mrs Meaders and the very next day she went to work on my case. She was always honest and showed that she cared about my situation. (Our previous attorney lied and scammed my family out of money) I know from experience that Mrs Meaders will work hard for all her clients because she is passionate about her work. I am now able to obtain my citizenship after being told by one attorney that the best way he could “help” was to ask the judge for a voluntary departure. Also, because of Mrs Meaders’ hard work I have been reunited with my children and family. If you are needing an attorney who is going to work hard for you, who is professional and highly competent, Mrs Meaders is the attorney for you and she is the best!- A. S.

I saw her on youtube on a Radio station interview and I thought she would be great help for my friend who needs help here in America. I went to her office along with my friend for her appointment. I noticed the lawyer is very organized, she went step-by-step to go through all the information with my friend. My friend was so worried but she calmed her down and listened to her attentively. After the meeting, my friend was so relieved. My friend also told me she followed up promptly with her to make sure everything is in place. My friend and I truly appreciate her help.- C. K.
