F-1 Student Visa General Information: The United States welcomes foreign students to
American language schools, high schools, universities and other institutions of
higher education. Thousands of learning institutions are approved by the USCIS
to accept foreign students as full time students. It is possible to change
schools and universities while being on an F-1 Visa without leaving the country.
F-1 Student Visa Eligibility Requirements: An applicant for a US student visa must come to
the United States to pursue an academic program in an institution recognized by
the United States government. The foreign citizen must have a valid educational
purpose for coming to the United States and be a full time student. It is not
possible to be a part-time student on an F-1 Visa. The student can stay in the
United States for as long as he/she is enrolled in school. The student visa is
normally issued at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the student’s home country.
