The US is a world leader in education, with 46 of the world's top 100 universities on US soil. This popularity has made US educated world leaders commonplace: UN secretary general Kofi Annan, Korean prime minister Kang Young Hoon, and a long list of international Nobel Prize winners all attended US universities.
US Student F-1 and M-1 Visa Categories
This popularity could have made the US student visa system extremely complex, but luckily the system is streamlined. In fact there are only 2 main visas for full time students:
F-1 Visa For full time students studying at an academic institution such as a school, college, or university.
M-1 visa For full time students studying at a non-academic or vocational insitution, such as a technical college.
Please see our F-1 Visa and M-1 visa guides for information on eligibility requirements and application advice for these visas.
