U.S. Student Visa F-1: Benefits and Application Options

Visa Agency — Your Reliable Visa Expert

Getting accepted into an American school or university opens not only new educational opportunities but also promising career prospects. However, to legally study in the United States, international applicants need an F-1 student visa. Our agency’s specialists provide qualified assistance at every stage of the visa process — from choosing an educational institution to successfully passing the consular interview.

What Does the U.S. F-1 Student Visa Offer?

The F-1 visa is the primary type of student visa issued to international students enrolled in accredited U.S. educational institutions. It opens a wide range of opportunities, including:

  1. Studying in U.S. colleges, universities, language schools, and academies.
  2. Legal stay in the country for the entire duration of the program.
  3. Gaining international experience and future career prospects.
  4. Participation in exchange programs, internships, and cultural projects.

A U.S. study visa is mandatory for anyone planning to study in the United States for more than 18 hours per week.

Document Submission Options Through Our Agency

We offer several visa application scenarios tailored to different categories of students.

1. If You Already Have an I-20 Invitation

Many clients independently find a school or university, complete the admission process, and receive their I-20 form. In this case, we take full responsibility for organizing the entire visa process, including:

  • reviewing all documents for accuracy;
  • paying the consular fee;
  • submitting the DS-160 form;
  • booking your interview at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw;
  • preparing you for the interview and providing full support at every stage.

Thus, even if you already have your I-20, we ensure that the process of obtaining a student visa in the USA through Poland is fast, smooth, and error-free.

2. Applying to a School Through Our Partners

If you are just planning to study but haven't chosen an institution yet, we offer a reliable solution. We partner with accredited English language schools in major U.S. cities:

  • Atlanta;
  • Boston;
  • New York;
  • San Francisco;
  • Miami.

We handle all document submissions, request the I-20 student invitation, and prepare you for the visa application process.

If you want to study in a different city not listed above, we will also select a suitable school based on your individual preferences. In this scenario, we fully manage the admission process, submit all documents, and obtain the I-20 required for your student visa.

3. Invitation From a University

If you are already admitted to a U.S. university and have received your I-20 form, our specialists will help you complete the student visa application. We know all the consular requirements and will prepare a comprehensive document package to minimize the risk of refusal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to obtain an F-1 student visa through Poland?

+
The processing time depends on the workload of the consulate, the time needed to prepare documents, and the availability of interview appointments. Typically, the entire process takes between 4 and 8 weeks, including document preparation, fee payments, and the consular interview.

What documents does the consulate normally check during the student visa interview?

+
The consulate reviews the admission confirmation (I-20), the completed DS-160 form, passport, photographs, fee payment receipts, and documents proving the student's financial ability to cover the cost of education and living expenses.

Can I work in the U.S. while holding an F-1 visa, and what restrictions apply?

+
With an F-1 visa, a student may work on campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic term. Off-campus employment is allowed only under special programs such as CPT (Curricular Practical Training) or OPT (Optional Practical Training), and requires authorization from the school and U.S. immigration services.

Can I extend my F-1 visa or transfer to another school after arriving in the U.S.?

+
Yes, students can extend their F-1 visa if they continue their studies or transfer to another educational institution. To do this, you must notify the U.S. immigration system (SEVIS) and obtain an updated I-20 form from the new school.
