Student Visa
 
The U.S. attracts many foreign nationals to its diverse and strong institutions of learning. The F-1 Visa (Academic Student) allows one to enter the U.S. as a full-time student at an accredited (U.S. Government approved) college or university. The student must be enrolled in a program or course of study which culminates in a degree, diploma, or certificate. The M-1 Visa (Vocational Student) is issued to students who want to pursue non-academic programs (health care technician, machinist, dental hygienist etc.) in an established institution. The J-1 Visa (Exchange Student) is for students pursuing graduate / post-graduate studies, visiting scholars, medical doctors undergoing training etc.
What We Can Do For You : At the Law Office of Paul Shearman Allen and Associates, we can consult with you to discuss your case in detail and guide you on the paperwork we suggest you file in order to obtain the F-1 visa for the principal student and dependent family members. We can advise the International Student Advisor of your college or school regarding all viable options and paperwork requirements of the different student statuses. If appropriate, we can help with submitting the forms, etc for the visa at the consulate or with the INS for change of status or extension of stay.
