Student Visa?

I need info on obtaining a student visa for a current student age 18. I have found a SEVP approved school, where do I go from there? Will they need copy of school transcripts? Does the student have to meet certain standards of the English language? Any info will be helpful.

Student Visa?
I am going to assume he is currently in Mexico? What will he be studying? Immigration looks more closely at someone who is going to study Chemistry, Nuclear physics, etc( I am assuming he is going to college not high school here). School transcripts and vaccination records will be a necessity. I would recommend starting the Hep B series as schools are now requiring it here. Usually they recommend a healthy comprehension of the English language, I would say about two years of study, not necessarily fluency.


They will also determine overstay risk, though they aren't too great at this sometimes. They will look into how strong his ties to Mexico are, how likely is it he will want to return home? If they find that he will have very little desire to go back home, and possibly overstay his visa, it will be less likely they will approve his application.
Reply:Student needs to provide consulate with SEVIS Form I-20 which is issued by the school. Also, one needs to provide evidence that there are sufficient funds to finance ones education. F-1 students also have to demonstrate Non-immigrant (Temporary) intent. Therefore, it is extremely important to document strong ties to one' home country and an intent to return once the degree is completed.





The school determines if the student meets English language standards, not the government.
