F-1 Student Visa required. Typically valid for duration of study program plus 60-day grace period. Applicants generally need a valid Form I-20 from a SEVP-certified school and proof of financial support. Two government fees apply before the visa interview: the SEVIS I-901 fee, currently $350 for F-1 students (paid via the official FMJfee.com portal), and the nonimmigrant visa application (MRV) fee, currently $185 (U.S. Department of State). Specific documentation requirements, fees, and processing times should be verified with the U.S. Department of State and USCIS directly, as these change over time.
