Visa Information

Student Visas

Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to attend school in the U.S., and whether you will pursue an undergraduate degree, graduate studies or you are going to a public or private high school, you should feel very proud of this accomplishment.

While getting into U.S. schools is tough, getting a visa to attend school shouldn’t be. If you have all the proper documentation and have paid all fees, the U.S. Embassy can help you facilitate your dream of studying in the U.S. Nonetheless, all applicants for student visas must overcome the legal presumption that they intend to immigrate to the U.S. During the visa interview, a prospective student visa holder must convince the consular officer that he or she fully intends to return to the home country upon completion of U.S. studies.

Fees for the student visa application are $100 U.S. dollars and can be paid at your nearest Paymaster branch.
