More Questions
What is the difference between an F-1 and M-1 visa?
The F-1 visa is for academic study at a US college, university, or language program, while the M-1 visa is for vocational or non-academic study. Most Indian students pursuing degree programs apply for the F-1. Confirm which applies to your program via the official source above.
When should I apply for my US student visa?
You can apply as soon as you are SEVIS-registered and have your Form I-20, generally up to 365 days before your program start date, though you cannot enter the US more than 30 days before the start date. Check current guidance on the official portal.
Can F-1 students work in the United States?
F-1 students can generally work on-campus and may qualify for off-campus work authorization like CPT or OPT under specific conditions. Rules are strict, so confirm eligibility before accepting any work.
Does World Immigration Terminal guarantee US visa approval?
No consultancy can guarantee a visa outcome — the decision rests solely with the US consular officer at your interview. We help you prepare a complete, well-documented application and prepare for your interview.
