Overview
The F-1 visa serves full-time students enrolled at SEVP-certified schools that issue Form I-20. Applications involve SEVIS I-901 payment, DS-160 completion and a consular interview probing the credibility of your study plan, funding and ties to home. Our visa service integrates with our education planning: timelines are managed jointly with school applications, and younger students additionally receive guardianship arrangements and pre-departure adaptation guidance.
