Students need to obtain 2 documents to study in the USA. They are I-20 and F1 Visa. Let’s first see what an I-20 Visa is and a simple procedure to obtain it. I-20 is a document provided by the university and countersigned by a school official. This provides an identification to the students as it has SEVIS identification number. It also acts as a proof from your University that you are eligible to pay all the expenses which include course fees and settlement expenses. It is valid for 5 years and will be sent to you through the mail by your University. After the students receive this they need to apply for Student VISA. Steps to get visa:
• Pay the fees of $200 for SEVIS I-90.
• After the payment, carry the receipt to your Visa Interview and also to the US Port of Entry when it’s your first entry as a student.
Now for those who aren’t citizens of Canada they need to get their F-1 Visa to get admission in the US Universities for the full time course. First fill the DS-160 form as precisely as possible through online mode. Then schedule the Visa Interview and go for it. If everything goes smoothly you are off to study in the US for your Ph.D.
