Select a SEVP-approved educational institution: Before initiating your visa application, you have to apply to and gain admission to a U.S. school or university that holds certification from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
Obtain Form I-20: Upon securing admission, you will receive Form I-20 from the international student office at your institution. This document contains your information within the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
Assemble the necessary documents: When applying for your U.S. student visa, you will generally require the following documents:
- A valid passport with an expiration date extending at least six months beyond your intended period of stay.
- Recent passport-sized photographs.
- Confirmation page of DS-160, the online application form.
- Form I-203.
- Payment of application fees for SEVIS.
- Application as a non-immigrant.
Submit your online application: You will need to complete your student visa application online through the U.S. Embassy and Consulates India website. This can be done up to 120 days before your intended programme start date.
Pay visa and SEVIS fees: Make sure to pay both your visa and SEVIS fees to schedule your visa appointment and fulfill your visa application requirements.
Schedule an interview: To obtain your international student visa, you must apply at the U.S. embassy or consulate the nearest to your location. The U.S. Department of State provides an online search tool for locating U.S. embassies and consulates. During the interview, a consular officer will assess your eligibility for a student visa and may request additional documentation.
Complete the visa process: After your entry into the United States with visitor (B) visa status is approved by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials, you must separately apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a change of status to student status before your programme begins. Note that you cannot commence your course of study until the change of status is granted, which may take up more time. You also have the option to leave the United States and re-enter using your student (F or M) visa.
