Student Visas

You can also qualify for a student visa. There are two types the M-1 and the F-1 Visas. Spouses and kids get M-2 and F-2 visas in case you qualify for yours. You can get one of these if you are accepted to a U.S. university for a study course leading to a certificate or diploma. The school will have to issue you a certificate of eligibility (SEVIS I-20). You must have enough money to pay for tuition as you cannot work with a student visa except part-time on campus. And you must have good command of the English language. If you are coming to study biochemistry, nuclear physics, or missile telemetry, you may have a problem as this could indicate terrorist inclinations. So you may not get a visa in that case.
