Looking to study abroad in the U.S.? You’ll need a student visa. Depending on the type of school you plan to attend or your course of study, you will be required to obtain either an F visa or an M visa.

For the sake of your future, call (888) 203-1706.

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.

    ​​​​​I had the honor of having Attorney Alexandria Meaders represent my husband in his case against ICE and let me just say, I was blown away! Her communication with me made me feel confident about the entire situation. She’s extremely educated and knows exactly what she is doing. Not only did she win my husband’s case but she got an even lower than expected bond for him!! Her confidence while representing my husband was such a sight to see. I will definitely come back to her if ever the situation calls for her expertise. I highly recommend attorney Meaders to anyone looking for strong and professional representation.

    "From Despair to Justice"
    Mrs. Meaders graciously & passionately took on our family’s immigration & criminal case when all odds were against us. She was open & honest with all communication, never deterred us & worked diligently with the short amount of time she was given. After a nightmare of lies, deceit from a precious Dallas attorney, we truly believe Mrs. Meaders law firm was God sent to help us revive not only our faith in attorneys but help us fight to bring justice to our family member. She had such a short time to fight but that is exactly what she did…fight from the moment we reached out & didn’t stop until she reached her goal for us to see our cousin again. She was honest from the very beginning, no big promises just facts of what she will do & how hard she will work for us. She did exactly that, she communicated with us & with her client openly even if just to calm nerves or ease fear. To give so much for others like Mrs. Meaders has represents a beautiful human being with a passion to help in the hardest times of life. Mrs. Meaders will forever be part of our lives for helping us get through these darkest moments & showing us that there is light in these situations & she’s there to help you. We were told this case was beyond winning, just hope for voluntary deportation at its best. Mrs. Meaders did not give up, she won our family back along with the opportunity to gain citizenship & prove her worth all because she saw our family members worth. Our indebted appreciation to you Mrs. Meaders & your law firm always for your honesty, hard work & integrity. You gave Amalia a second chance! Thank you!!
