HIGHSCHOOL VISA AND SEVIS Share

As a participant in this program you have to apply for F1 visa. This visa is for academic students enrolled in colleges, universities, high schools, language training programs, and other academic institutions.

What are the requirements for F1 student visas?

You must be attending an academic institution or a language-training program;
You must be enrolled as a full-time student;
The school must be approved by the USICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to accept foreign students;
You must show sufficient financial support to complete the study;
You must prove that you do not intend to abandon your foreign residency.

Can I travel outside the US?

Yes. You may return to the US after an absence of no more than five months. You must have a new F1 visa if your original one has expired. Have your designated school official sign your I-20 before leaving the US.

Can I work in the U.S.?

F-1 visas are intended to enable foreign students to study in the U.S., hence, there are strict work restrictions. Students with F-1 visas are generally allowed to work on the campus of the university at which they study for up to 20 hours a week. There are also two training programs that F-1 students can get permission to work under. F1 students should always seek advice from the DSO (or foreign student advisor) before seeking employment in the United States.

SEVIS

SEVIS is an internet-based system that allows American colleges and universities and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to exchange and share information on the visa status of international students. Accurate and current information is transmitted electronically throughout an F-1 student's academic career in the United States. U.S. embassies and consulates and ports of entry also have access to SEVIS.
