The Immigration and Nationality Act provides two non-immigrant visa categories for persons wishing to study in the United States. The "F" visa is reserved for non-immigrants wishing to pursue academic studies and/or language training programs, and the "M" visa is reserved for non-immigrants wishing to pursue non-academic or vocational studies.

F-ACADEMIC STUDENTS AND M-VOCATIONAL STUDENTS REQUIREMENTS

Foreign students seeking to study in the U.S. may enter in the F-1 or M-1 category provided they meet the following criteria:

	The student must be enrolled in an "academic" educational program, a language-training program, or a vocational program;
	The school must be approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS);
	The student must be enrolled as a full-time student at the institution;
	The student must be proficient in English or be enrolled in courses leading to English proficiency;
	The student must have sufficient funds available for self-support during the entire proposed course of study; and
	The student must maintain a residence abroad which he/she has no intention of giving up.

CURRENT INS REGULATIONS RECOGNIZE THE FOLLOWING AS APPROVED SCHOOLS :

	A school operated as a public educational institution by federal, state, or local government; and
	A school accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency.

If an institution of higher education does not fall into one of these two categories, it must submit evidence that its course credits are accepted by at least three accredited schools.

If a private elementary or public or private secondary school does not fall into one of these two categories, it must submit evidence that it satisfies the compulsory attendance requirements of the state in which it is located and that it qualifies graduates for acceptance by approved schools at a higher educational level, and in the case of a private elementary or secondary school, that it is accredited by an accrediting organization, certified by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Non-Public Education.
