Have you ever met a friend who went abroad through a language school?

If you only go to a language school in the United States, the refusal rate is still relatively high. So, if you decide to go only to a language school, you should make good preparations before your visa.

Student visa (F 1) is a non-immigrant visa. According to American immigration law, except for work-related non-immigrant visas (such as H 1, L 1), applicants for other non-immigrant visas cannot have immigration tendency, otherwise the visa officer may refuse the visa at his discretion. If the applicant only goes to a language school in the United States, the visa officer will think that the applicant has a serious tendency to immigrate. They will think that applicants can also learn English in China, and it is cheaper.

In addition, they will think that applicants cannot study in the United States without sufficient language skills. According to the immigration law of the United States, the visa officer can presuppose that the applicant has an immigration tendency, so the job of the visa applicant is to prepare enough evidence to prove that he has no immigration tendency.

First of all, the applicant should think about the questions that the visa officer may ask, "Why do you want to study English in the United States?" . When answering this question, the applicant must combine his own actual situation, and don't give a general answer that studying in the United States is faster and more authentic. Everyone's situation is different, and there are always different reasonable answers.

Secondly, sufficient reasons and evidence should be prepared to prove that the applicant has strong social and economic ties with his own country and will not stay in the United States after completing his studies. This kind of evidence includes bank deposits, property certificates, work certificates, income certificates, securities invested, the fact that immediate family members are all in China and so on. Economic evidence can include parents'. In recent years, many China people went to the United States with various visas, and then stayed to work as illegal workers. So this evidence can also prove that the applicant has enough income in China to go to school in the United States, not to work as an illegal worker.

Finally, it is best for applicants to have a study abroad plan and future plans to prove their intention to return to China after graduation. In this plan, the applicant can explain that although he is currently applying for a language school, he may apply for a major in a local university or community college in the United States after improving his English level, so that he will have an advantage in doing a certain job after returning to China in the future. In addition, the applicant must have a career plan for the future. Of course, this plan should be implemented in China.

In short, although it is relatively difficult to get a student visa in the Language Institute, it is not impossible to get a visa as long as you are fully prepared according to your actual situation. In addition, many people refuse the visa for the first time, and the second or third endorsement will be approved.

The second part is your academic credentials. These materials are used to prove that you are a student who really wants to study in the United States, including:

1. academic credentials and school transcripts (if you haven't got your diploma and degree certificate at the time of visa, you need to issue a study certificate). These are all proofs that the applicant has completed the domestic stage of study and met the admission requirements of American universities. At the same time, the report card can show the applicant's past learning ability and educational background, and prove that he has the ability to successfully complete his studies in the future.

These materials can prove that you have a clear purpose and a full understanding of studying abroad.

The third part is the financial documents needed to complete the study: proof of all tuition fees and living expenses. Prove that you are capable and willing to be a full-time student; On the premise of not engaging in unauthorized work, they have enough funds to pay tuition, living expenses and all expenses for dealing with emergencies. As for the funds, in addition to proving that the amount is enough for study, it is also necessary to prove that the money can really be used by the applicant for study, rather than temporarily borrowing it to meet the visa, that is, to explain the specific source of funds. These materials will vary according to the specific family background of the applicant, and generally include:

1. The original time deposit certificate in the name of the applicant, spouse or immediate family member, and the deposit certificate issued by the bank (including the record of the old passbook, etc.). ), which proves that there is enough deposit in the bank to complete the applicant's studies.

3. Statements that may also involve equity funds, real estate licenses, driver's licenses, and private car driving licenses. These materials can prove that the applicant's family is in good economic condition and has sufficient economic strength for the applicant to study.

The fourth part, other social and economic factors that can prove that you are inseparable from China make you leave the United States after completing your planned studies. These materials are trivial and need to be prepared according to the applicant's own situation, including:
