Student Visas

While some short studies are permitted while in the U.S. as a visitor, most student programs will require a student visa. Our office handles student visa applications including F-1 for academic studies, M-1 for vocational studies, and J-1 for exchange visitors. After studies are completed, many programs offer Optional Practical Training, in order to work for one year in your field. J-1 visas often require the individual to return to his or her home country after the program is completed. Our firm can assist in obtaining a waiver of that requirement under certain circumstances.
