What are the requirements to apply for a student visa?

What are the requirements and conditions in getting a student visa?

  • I'm 16 and I live in the Philippines. I'm an incoming senior in high school, and I want to take my senior year and college years in Los Angeles (Panorama particullarly, because that's where my friends live). What should I do first before I get a student visa? Is the tuition fee much expensive than those of locals? How long will it take before I get my student visa? (because the schools start on September already). thanks.

  • Answer:

    First you need to apply colleges and get admitted. Once you get admitted, the school will mail you I-20 SEVIS Form. Then you apply F1 Student Visa at US Embassy in Philippines. You have to do interview with required documents. The tuition is usually 2 or 3 times more than Residents. The processing time depends on the business of US Embassy in Philippines. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1269.html http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html

First you need to apply to a US school or college and get admission (Form I - 20). Assuming that you have a valid passport from your country, the second step is to apply to the US Embassy in Philippines for the student visa (F1). The Embassy will schedule and call you for the visa interview. You will need supporting documents like a bank statement from your sponsor or parents. Remember tuition fees for international students in the US is 2 or 3 times more than for US citizens and legal permanent residents. Good luck.
