Details on Obtaining F and M Student Visas in New York

• F-1 Student Visa – (Academic Student) Allows entry to the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution or in a language training program. The student must be enrolled in a program or course of study that results in earning a degree, diploma, or certificate and the school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students.
