Hi Vatsal, I don't think it will be possible to mention every information and details. Firstly decide what you want to study basis on which you must check the university specific requirements. For Bachelor's degree you must take SAT and TOEFL. Prepare for these tests and try to meet the eligibility criteria, the student visa process will start only after you receive the acceptance from an university so first work on the application and eligibility. Visit university websites for department specific requirements. best of luck.
