What do I need to know to apply for an undergraduate study visa in the United States?

Students should prepare the following materials before making an appointment for an interview on an American undergraduate study visa:

1. Admission notice from American institutions, I- 20 form with my information and SEVIS number.

2. A receipt to prove that you have joined SEVIS and paid the fee.

3. Information and supporting materials about tuition fees, living expenses and other payment methods listed in the I-20 form.

4. The original transcripts and certified translations issued by the school recently.

5. Entrance examination or examination results.

According to the relevant regulations, before the start date of 120 days on the I-20 form, an American undergraduate study visa may not be issued. Students can apply 120 days in advance, but passports will be issued at an appropriate time.

How to apply for a visa to attend high school or undergraduate in the United States?

Type of study visa in the United States:

1, F- 1 visa

This is the most common student visa. If you want to study in America, you need this visa.

2.M- 1 visa

If you want to study or train in a non-academic or vocational education institution in the United States, you need an M- 1 visa.

Interpretation of the validity period of American study visa

If you get an F 1 visa for studying in the United States and get a passport from CITIC Bank with excitement, and see that your visa for studying in the United States is only valid for one year, you will think: I want to study in the United States for four years. Why is my visa valid for only one year? Each student visa is valid for one year.

The duration of each international student's legal status in the United States is based on the time on I20. F 1 visa is just your passport to enter the United States.

So, there are two possibilities:

First, international students can stay in the United States during the validity period of I20. Even if the visa has expired, your identity is legal.

Second, during the validity period of I20, international students will return to China for vacation. At this time, the pass (visa) has expired or is about to expire before you can go to the United States again.

I hope the answer is helpful to you and I hope it will be adopted.
