 1. Choose a Program and Get Accepted:


   - Apply and gain admission to a U.S. school or university. You must receive a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) from your institution.

 2. Determine Visa Type:

     - F-1 Visa: For academic students (degree-seeking).
     - M-1 Visa: For vocational or non-academic students.

 3. Pay the SEVIS Fee;


   - After receiving your Form I-20, you must pay the SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) fee. Keep the receipt, as you’ll need it for your visa application.

 4. Complete the Visa Application:


   - Fill out the DS-160 form online. This is the Nonimmigrant Visa Application form. You’ll need to upload a recent passport photo.

 5. Schedule a Visa Interview:


   - Book an appointment for your visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. Wait times can vary, so schedule it early.

 6. Prepare for the Interview:


   - Gather required documents, which typically include:
     - Valid passport
     - Form I-20
     - SEVIS fee payment receipt
     - DS-160 confirmation page
     - Financial evidence (bank statements, scholarship letters, etc.)
     - Academic records (transcripts, diplomas)
     - Passport-sized photographs
   - Be ready to discuss your study plans, how you will fund your education, and your intentions to return to your home country after your studies.

 7. Attend the Visa Interview


   - Arrive at the embassy or consulate on the scheduled date. Be prepared to answer questions about your study plans and ties to your home country.

 8. Receive Your Visa:


   - If approved, you’ll receive your student visa, allowing you to enter the U.S. for your studies. Check the visa for any specific conditions or restrictions.

 9. Plan Your Arrival:


   - You can enter the U.S. up to 30 days before your program start date. Ensure you have your documents organized for entry.

 Additional Tips:


- Financial Proof: Be prepared to demonstrate that you can financially support yourself during your studies. https://www.aecglobal.com.au/Migration/StudentVisa
