Student Visa Information for
New York City, NY & Beyond
Columbia University, New York University, Rockefeller
University, and Manhattan College: these prestigious New
York City, NY schools—and other schools throughout
New York—attract students from all over the world.
In order for a foreign national to attend a school in
New York or anywhere else in the US, however, he or she
must be approved for a student visa.
A student visa is also called an F1 visa. The student
visa allows a foreign national to enter the United States
to be a full-time student at an approved university, college,
or school. To ensure the best chance of success with your
student visa, you may want to consult with a New
York immigration lawyer who can assist you with the
application process.
There are several advantages to obtaining a student visa,
such as:
- It allows students to live in New York, NY while
they are involved in approved, full time studies
- It allows students to work in the US for various
reasons such as work experience, postgraduate training,
practical training programs, and other qualified on-campus
employment
- It allows the student’s spouse and children
to live in New York under an F2 visa status during the
student’s tenure, as long as there are sufficient
funds to support their expenses
In addition to the above benefits, the requirements for
a student visa in New York, NY are relatively straightforward.
First, the student must be admitted to an approved academic
institution. The student must also show proof of financial
support which will allow the student to live and study
in the US without being employed. The student also must
show proof that he or she intends to leave the USA after
completing school.
A student visa must be maintained at all times. Maintaining
a student visa means the student must be enrolled in a
full course of study, earn passing grades, and pay tuition.
The student must also agree not to accept unauthorized
employment or violate the law.
