Study Abroad

To apply for a USA study visa, follow these steps:

1) Once you have a Form I-20 from your college, the visa application procedure can begin. Although you can pay the SEVIS fee at any moment during the application process, it is highly advised that you do so before you begin applying for a US visa.
2) You can fill out a DS-160 visa application after paying the SEVIS fee and receiving a receipt. An online application form is being used.
3) Print the confirmation page from your application to bring to the interview.
4) Pay the visa fee at authorised AXIS bank/Citi bank outlets or via NEFT.
5) Make an appointment for your biometrics and an interview.

6) You must physically show up for the biometric appointment so that your fingerprints can be scanned and your photo taken for the visa.

7) You will be questioned at the personal interview about your choice, college, finances, and intention to return. If the person is persuaded, they will keep your passport so they may have the visa stamped in it. This manual will assist you in getting ready for your F1 Visa Interview.

Keep in mind that F1 visas for students can be issued up to 120 days before to the start of your term of study. You won't be permitted to enter the country with an F1 visa, though, before 30 days have passed since your start date.
