What Is an F-1 Visa?

The F-1 visa is a non-immigrant student visa that allows foreign nationals to study full-time in the U.S. at approved academic institutions.

Students under F-1 status can:

Attend accredited academic or language programs.
Apply for on-campus employment (up to 20 hours per week).
Pursue Curricular Practical Training (CPT) during studies or Optional Practical Training (OPT) after graduation.
Travel internationally during program breaks (with proper authorization).
Bring dependents on F-2 visas (for spouse and unmarried children under 21).

We guide you through every stage—from school documentation and SEVIS compliance to visa interviews and post-graduation planning.
