An analysis of the conditions for studying in the United States in primary school and the accompanying study abroad policy

First, the conditions for studying in the United States at the primary school stage

1, age requirement

Children must be over 5 years old to attend preschool; Children who must be at least 6 years old can go to the first grade; Children whose school age will be 1 in the next September, that is, children born on September 2, can only enter school next year (across the board, there is no back door).

2. Time requirements

The registration time for freshmen with siblings is March 30th or 3rd1. The registration time for new families (children coming to school or other places) is April 13 or April 14. The lottery time for freshmen to attend primary schools is April 29, that is, which of the three primary schools their children attend is decided by the staff. Newborn families with siblings at school don't need to participate in the lottery, because children can go to the same primary school directly with their siblings.

3, material requirements

You have to bring three documents, one is to prove the documents of local residents, such as property ownership; Second, documents to prove the identity of children, such as birth certificates and passports; The third is the child's immunization record.

In addition to the above documents, some States with more immigrants need to do tuberculosis skin tests. If the result is negative, it will not affect school. If the result is positive, but there are no symptoms, you may need to take medicine and check regularly.

The United States is a country with very good medical conditions, so American primary schools attach great importance to children's immunization records. With books with immunization records, you can apply for free breakfast and lunch when you sign up. For families with low family income, they can also enjoy the minimum income subsidy.

Second, the policy of accompanying students in American primary schools

1, the applicant must be able to prove that he is the spouse or minor child of the F- 1 visa holder, and the purpose of entering the United States is only to accompany the above-mentioned main visa holder or to reunite with him in the United States.

2. Applicants need to bring relevant visa documents for the interview, such as valid passport, visa photos, visa fee receipt, visa application form DS- 160 completed before face-to-face, family member I-20 form, copy of US visa page, proof of kinship, proof of funds, etc.

3. Guarantee fund requirements: If the expenses are borne by the applicant himself, the deposit certificate of the expenses that may be paid during the planned stay can be provided.

For example, if you plan to stay in the United States for six months, you can provide a deposit certificate of not less than 654.38 million RMB, and it is recommended to provide a deposit certificate of about 200,000 ~ 300,000 RMB.

4. American study abroad experts remind that underage children with F-2 visas can attend primary and secondary schools; Their spouses cannot attend full-time or part-time degree courses. If the F-2 visa applicant applies for full-time study in the United States, it is suggested to change to F- 1 visa; F-2 holders can't take part in paid work either, but they can take part in voluntary work.
