The difference between J 1 visa and F 1 visa for studying in the United States.

First of all, briefly introduce the difference between J 1 and F 1:

J 1: J- 1 refers to an international exchange student visa, which is generally valid for one year and has additional restrictive clauses, that is, students must return to China after the exchange period expires, and they are not allowed to apply for a student visa again after returning home.

F 1: F- 1 refers to the student visa for secondary schools in the United States. Some schools will issue I20, and the specific time will generally be until students finish high school.

The specific differences are as follows:

F- 1 visa is a kind of visa issued to foreign students studying in full-time schools recognized by the US government. With this visa, you can attend American high schools, universities, community schools, technical training schools and language schools. Foreign students studying in these schools have been engaged in formal studies for a long time, the main purpose of which is to complete their studies and obtain degrees, diplomas or academic certificates.

The necessity of studying in America. These are the reasons why visa officers go to the United States without finishing high school in China, and they are also important reasons for judging whether students have the tendency to emigrate. Only through a true and clear study plan can we explain the necessity of studying abroad. Even some students know nothing about the school they attend and have no clear future study plan. They just said that the economy of the United States is developed and the teaching quality is high, so it is difficult to convince visa officers.

Plenty of real money. Because it is almost impossible to apply for scholarships in American high schools, and students are young, it is difficult to earn income through campus work, so adequate financial support is an important factor for the success of visas. The source of funds should not only be sufficient, but also reasonable and the supply of funds should be appropriate.

Student accommodation. Because the students are young, many children can't live alone. They must live in boarding schools, host families or relatives' homes. We must make it clear to the visa officer. Without a clear legal guardian, we can't get a visa.

Do you have any relatives in America? This is a problem with a tendency to emigrate, so we must explain it reasonably according to the specific situation, and we must not lie and cheat, because in the visa system in the United States, if we can find immediate family members, we must show that we have no tendency to emigrate. So we must make a reasonable explanation.

Students' English level. The United States has certain language ability requirements for high school students. If they are too poor, they can't understand the teacher's lectures when they go to school in the United States, and they can't keep up with the learning progress, so they will encounter difficulties in life.

The age of the students. Students who go to high school in the United States should not be too old, and their grades should be as big as those of domestic students, or they are too old or obviously beyond the normal grades, so it is difficult to apply for a visa. You know, these visa officers have undergone strict training, and many people know China very well.
