Students or
exchange visitors who are within 120 days of their start date of a
valid programme and who have not been refused a visa within the last

if your visa gets
rejected, you can apply for a visa at any time after getting a new
HDFC receipt.
What are the types of student visas?
There are two non-immigrant visa categories for persons wishing
to study in the United States. The "F" visa is for pursuing
academic studies and/or language training programs, and the "M"
visa is for non-academic or vocational studies.
How early should I apply for my Student (F1 or M1) visa?
You are encouraged to apply for your non-immigrant student visa at
the earliest. To ensure you get an early and timely date you may
apply at anytime, however a student visa may be issued no more than
120 days prior to the start date mentioned on your I-20.
I have received my Student visa, when should I travel?
Students (F1 or M1) may travel within 30 days of the commencement of
the course of study as stated on your I-20 regardless of how early
your visa was issued.
What is the SEVIS system and how does it affect me?
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) program
requires schools and exchange programs to verify the enrolment
status of all continuing and new foreign students and exchange
visitors. However the visa cannot be issued until your SEVIS fee has
been paid.
Applicants applying with I-20 forms processed after 1 Sept 2004 are
required to provide the SEVIS I-901 fee receipt as proof of payment.

Can a person on a visitor visa change his status to
student while in the U.S if he/she gets admission to a school and
gets a Form I-20?
No. Previously, US law permitted persons entering on tourist, B1/B2
visas to change status to F-1 visas. That is no longer the case. A
non-immigrant wishing to study in the US must apply from their
country of origin or residence if they wish to study in the US on an
F-1 visa
I have taken a loan from a bank to cover my tuition. Do I
still need to show other financial documents?
In such a case, please bring official documents, which verify the
loan approval, not just the application. You must prove that funds
are immediately available to cover the first year's costs, and show
evidence that funds will be available for all subsequent years. Also
since Indian banks ordinarily give educational loans of relatively
modest amounts, the application must still demonstrate additional
liquid assets and any financial documentation you provide should be
in support of this. This applies to all student visa applicants
What documents should I show to prove that I could pay for
my education in the US?
There are no specific documents that prove a student is able to pay
for his/her education. Bank account statements, pay slips, income
tax return statements, employment letters, property documents and
chartered accountant statements are the most common documents used
to show proof of funds. However, these are only suggested documents.
A visa is not assured if you have any or all of these documents.
Is it required that I pay the first year tuition expenses
in advance and show a receipt from the university?
No, paying the tuition expenses in advance is a good way to show
proof of funds, but it is NOT a requirement to pay in advance.
What if I receive an I-20 to a better school?
- If you have received an I-20
after scheduling your appointment you can change the details up to
2 working days prior to your interview appointment, for interview
scheduled at Mumbai Consulate you can change the details up to 5
working days prior to your interview appointment.
- If you have obtained your visa
and need to change the name of the university on your visa, you
have to go through the complete process once again by scheduling a
new appointment after paying the application fee and service
charges.

Is there a quota for the number of student visas issued
each year?

I have a valid F2/M2 visa and I have got admission in to a
college. Can I use the Drop Box facility?
No, from July 2004 onwards all applicant travelling to the US have

have travelled to the US.
I am applying for an F1/M1 visa and I would like my spouse
to travel with me, can he/she apply for a dependant visa (F2/M2) at
the same time that I do or must they wait until my visa has been
issued?
It is recommend that the spouse and dependent children go for their
visas interviews along with the principal applicant
