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.

"Grateful Beyond Words"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.

"Fought Hard, Delivered More"In short - I will forever recommend Mrs Meaders and her law firm staff! ... Mrs Meaders very recently was a significant part in the big blessing that our family received. Our family member's situation was a hard one, a case that most attorneys couldn't handle - but Mrs Meaders did. She did what most believed was impossible. We hoped for one outcome and came out with so much more. Mrs Meaders is full of passion for what she does, is extremely knowledgeable, and has such an amazing and inspiring personality ready to fight for her clients. Having dealt with an attorney prior to Mrs Meaders that destroyed us mentally and emotionally, Mrs Meaders was truly God sent. She took the time to really review every single piece of our case yet worked diligently, making positive moves in the case in a short period of time. Her love for her clients and families is a gift in itself. She and her staff offer such great patience and communication and will never make you feel rushed or misunderstood. Mrs Meaders and her staff always responded to every and any questions or concerns promptly, professionally, and genuinely. Mrs Meaders and her staff will never be forgotten and will forever be appreciated for accomplishing what seemed so impossible. Our family members case consisted of an immigration and criminal case combined. We were told multiple times that our only option was a voluntary departure if she was even granted that avenue. Mrs Meaders fought both cases and our family member not only returned back home to us, but came back in a position where she is not only able to retain her residency but is now also able to obtain her citizenship. Mrs Meaders is one amazing human being and attorney. Through her hard work and dedication, God has restored and reunited our family. Thank you Mrs Alexandra Meaders and law firm...FOR EVERYTHING!- C. M.
