Student Visa from Cambodia to United States of America
- The United States of America student visa is divided into the F and M visa.
- The F visa is issued to individuals who want to attend University or college, High school, private elementary school, seminary or take a language training program.
- The M visa is for those who want to attend a vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution.
- You can apply for this visa after you have been enrolled in a SEVP-approved school.
- Then you would be registered for the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) by the school and would be required to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee.
- The school would then issue you a Form I-20 which you would use to apply for your visa at the U.S. embassy. This form must be taken to your interview.
- Intending students are also to fill the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form DS-160.
- Individuals who are between the ages of 13 years and younger and 80 years and older are not to attend an interview.
- Applicants must have a sponsor or other proof of sufficient funds for the duration of their study.
- Accommodation is also mandatory. This could be a hostel on-campus or an apartment off-campus.
- Your visa can be issued for up to 120 days in advance of the start date for your course of study but you would not be allowed to enter the United States more than 30 days before the start date.
- After you have been issued a visa, you are to resume within five months or lose your status.
