There are three general non-immigrant visa classifications available for the purposes of studying temporarily in the United States:
Student (F-1)
The F-1 Academic Student Visa allows a student to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminary, conservatory, academic high school, elementary school, or other academic institution. The F-1 classification also allows students to enter the United State to take part in language training programs.
To qualify for F-1 classification, the student must be enrolled in a program or course of study that culminates in a degree, diploma, or certificate and the school must be authorized by the U.S. government to accept international students.
Exchange Program (J-1)
The J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa classification is available for those who intend to participate in an approved program for the purpose of teaching, instructing, lecturing, studying, observing, conducting research, consulting, demonstrating special skills, receiving training, or to receive graduate medical education or training.
The Department of State designates public and private entities to act as exchange sponsors.
Vocational Student (M-1)
The M-1 Vocational Student Visa classification allows students to enter the United States for the purpose of taking part in vocational or other non-academic programs, other than language training.
