F1 & F2 Visas (Students and Accompanying Relatives)

The United States permits persons having a residence in a foreign
country to pursue a degree, certificate, or conduct vocational studies in
the United States.  There are no limits in the amount of Student Visas
granted each year.  

Student Visa Requirements

Specifically, the United States requires applicants for a F1 Visa:
  • Attend a full course of academic study in the United States at
    colleges, universities, conservatories, high school, elementary school,
    or other educational institution; or
  • Attend a full course at an approved institution with language training
    programs

Spouses and Minor Children holding an F1 Visa may receive a F2 Visa.

Cipolla & Pelud P.C. can advise you on your student, training,
and work plans.  Navigating through the voluminous and detailed
immigration laws is a difficult task and requires a skilled attorney to help
you establish a lawful and sound immigration strategy.  In addition to
advising you on your immigration and student plans, Cipolla & Pelud P.C.
can also help you in filing your student visa documents.
