F-1 Visa Experts

Your Trusted F-1 Student Visa Partner

F-1 Visas are non-immigrant student visas for individuals pursuing academic studies or language training programs at accredited U.S. institutions. To qualify, the student must be enrolled full-time and be accepted by a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified school.

To be eligible for F-1 status you must:
  1. Be enrolled in an academic educational program, not a vocational one

  2. Be accepted by a SEVP-certified school and maintain full-time student status

  3. Demonstrate sufficient financial support to cover your tuition and living expenses

  4. Prove intent to return to your home country after completing your studies

F-1 visa holders may be eligible for limited on-campus employment and may also apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) under certain conditions. Dependents (spouse and children) may accompany the F-1 student on an F-2 visa but are not permitted to work.
