Study in USA
IIf a student want to study in the United States, he or she must first obtain a visa, after which he or she will be declared qualified to enter the nation. So let me tell you about the visa application process.
Procedure for applying for a student visa and types of visas:
There are basically two types of visas which are granted to international peoples for the United States
One is Immigrant visa which is applicable for permanent residing of a person in the US and to work over there also and can also leave the country without any restriction and rules of visa and this visa is known as Green card also.
Another category of visa includes Non- Immigrant visa.
A person applies for this visa under various circumstances such as:
When he/she lives in the US on a non-immigrant visa for a number of the years and are doing a job there.
When he/she is married to US citizen.
When he/she is married to Green Card holder.
When he/she has invested some amount in business and in any industry in the US.
A green card holder can sponsor periodically the close relatives such as Father, mother, sister, a brother for the grant of the green card even while still are living in their native country.
Now we are going to discuss the student visa which is named an F-1 Student visa which is related to a non-immigrant visa.
The condition of this visa is that a student can’t get a job outside of a university and is liable to leave the US after completion of studies.
Whereas a local immigration visa allows a student to work outside of the university during his/her second year of studies if his/her financial situation has changed and they convince the local immigration authority to allow the student to work, universities also offer jobs during the first year and it is possible to earn up to $500 per month.
Documents Required for Visa Applying:
Formal letter from the institution is most vital, mentioning the graduate, postgraduate fall or spring semester, and the cost of admission in whatever subject you have offered the course.
If you filed for admission for the autumn semester beginning in September, you will receive the form in April and July, but if you applied to more than one university, it is up to them when they will grant you admission and how much it will cost.
If a student has ultimately settled on a university, he or she must apply at least 90 days before applying for a visa.
Now, one must put out an application, enter the consulate with documents, and then collect.

And after that student has to go ahead to the next counter for scrutiny.
After submission of visa fees having 1 to 5 turns submission of documents is the next step and after their examination counter officer will ask you for the interview.
If a student is asked for the interview he/she must bring that pink foiled slip along with it and after this, all documents will be returned to you along with visa and passport.
If an interview invitation is not proposed by the student then they will get the visa through courier.
Students must submit their documents properly and one important document which is an institution copy is must be submitted to the consulate officer who would retain it which would be later sealed in an envelope and returned pinned to the passport and this copy envelope is submitted to immigration officer of the United States.
