The F-1 visa enables foreign nationals to pursue a full course of academic study at a school approved by the Attorney General for non-immigrant students. In order to obtain an F-1 visa, a prospective student needs to apply initially to a school and be admitted. Then, the admitting school will provide an I-20 form which the student must present at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad.

Requirements for an F-1 student visa includes the following:

Student must be enrolled in an academic education program and not a vocational program
Educational institution must be approved by USCIS
Student needs to have full-time academic obligations at the educational institution
Student needs to be proficient in English or be enrolled in courses that result in proficiency

"Thorough, encouraging, and supportive."
When I moved to Arizona from Ohio in 2010, the first attorney I was introduced to was Kanu & Associates, P.C. After my first consultation, I quickly established an attorney-client relationship because they deeply understood and explained my case. Kanu & Associates were professional and positive throughout the process. The court outcome was what I hoped for. I paid a reasonable fee. With this experience, I hired them again for my Naturalization application. I wholeheartedly give it to the dedicated staff for being thorough, encouraging, and supportive. My application process for Naturalization was made easy by the staff who were always there to answer my questions, at no extra charge. Kanu & Associates is a team of professionals. I am glad I have had the opportunity to associate with them.
