Home Country:
To apply for a student visa to the United States, you must follow these steps:
- Enroll in a U.S. School:
First, you must apply to and be accepted by a U.S. school that is authorized to issue the Form I-20. This form is required to apply for a student visa. - Pay the SEVIS Fee:
Once you receive your Form I-20, you will need to pay the SEVIS fee, which supports the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). - Complete the DS-160 Online Form:
You must complete the DS-160 form online. This is the nonimmigrant visa application form. - Schedule a Visa Interview:
You will need to schedule a visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. - Attend the Visa Interview:
Attend the interview with all the required documents, including your Form I-20, proof of SEVIS fee payment, passport, and financial documents. - Wait for Visa Approval:
After the interview, you will need to wait for your visa to be approved. If approved, you will receive your visa within a few days.
