That is my first time, since my first time.

To be able to obtain an education in the United States, there are many essential documents one should have.

One wants to get a student visa and a certificate of eligibility and to fill other types aside from the applications one is to distribute to potential academic institutions.

Ok - try not to get overwhelmed.

This one step is taken by lets at any given time.

First a, there are several requirements one must obtain, before one can be issued a student visa, forms one must distribute and fill.

(*taken from UnitedStatesVisas.gov)

1. A certificate of eligibility that you must get from your sponsoring educational establishment in the U.S. If you are a normal scholar (an F charge) youll get Form I-20. If you are section of an approved change program (a visa) youll get Form DS-1920.

2. Application Form DS-156

3. Type DS-158

4. Current, valid passport or travel document

5. Image. Needs are rigid for image size, quality and form. Please check with your nearest consulate for features before you get your picture taken.

6. Application charges. The application fee must be paid by all applicants. Some candidates, in accordance with type and nationality of credit, must also spend an issuance fee.

7. Evidence of funds to cover costs in the United States

8. Proof compelling social and economic ties abroad

For men between 45 and 16 years, an added credit form DS-157 is also needed.

Applications for student visas are sent through the US Embassy or Consulate in your country of origin.
