Those who are thinking of participating in the courses we offer at Lingua Language Center often wonder: Can I get a student visa to learn English in the USA?
The short answer is yes: it is possible. This is an F-1 visa, which allows individuals to enter the United States as full-time students at high schools, universities, academies, seminaries or conservatories.
Once students have completed their academic program, they may remain in the U.S. for an additional 60 days. Of course, they can also request a little more time to enter a job that complements their knowledge.
Of course, there is also another very similar visa that deals with family members of the F-1 visa holder: the F-2 visa, which is designed for spouses and dependents of the F-1 visa holder.
How to obtain a student visa to learn English in the USA?
Basically, the procedure for obtaining a student visa that allows you to spend time in the United States learning English begins with enrollment.
When you are enrolled in a duly certified language school in the United States, that institution will send you an I-20 form to take to the American Embassy in your country. In that form, the academy will inform you that you have been accepted into their English course, which will allow you to apply for a visa with the U.S. authorities.
Once you are given the I-20 form, you must complete I-901 SEVIS and pay the visa fee of US$200. Once you have completed these steps, you will be able to apply for a non-immigrant visa at this website: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/.
Then, your next step will be to go to the appointment at the U.S. Embassy.
At the appointment, you must present yourself with your passport, Form I-20, Form I-901 SEVIS, and confirmation of the visa application and appointment.
