Visa Details -
Student Visa Information:
Persons renewing their student visas must present full
course transcripts.
Students must at all times successfully complete 12 semester hours
per semester, otherwise they are in the United States illegally
and risk being deported.
Your spouse and unmarried children (under age 21) are eligible to
receive visas to accompany you to the United States. The visas will
be of the same category of the principal applicant’s and the
fees will be the same. Applicants will have to provide evidence
of the relationship when applying for the visas (e.g. marriage or
birth certificate). If the family applies for a visa without the
principal applicant, they should bring a copy of the principal applicant’s
I-20 or DS-2019 on which accompanying family members should have
been noted.
Work Visas:
Like most countries of the world, the United States limits
the type and number of foreign workers who can enter the United
States. To perform work duties in the United States, you must have
a work visa regardless of where you are being paid. The categories
of work visas are as follows:
