Applying for a student visa means that you’re a non-US citizen who wishes to enter and reside while studying in the USA. If you apply for a non-immigrant visa, it refers to staying in the country only for the duration of your studies; thus, it isn’t permanent. An immigration attorney in Waltham, MA, can help you during the process.

Before applying for a student visa USA, the individual must be accepted at a SEVP (Student Exchange Visitor Program) school. Married students with dependents who wish to reside in the United States must also apply for the program to be accepted.

Other things to do during the application process include:

• Fill out the online visa application (non-immigrant visa)
• You will also need a photo of your visa.
• You can also see more instructions and information at the government embassy or consulate websites.

There is an interview process beforehand, with exceptions for people who are only renewing their existing visas. Expect a waiting period to apply.
