Study Visa Requirements for USA & UK
The American and British education systems require foreign students to meet some stipulated visa requirements, according to their respective immigration authorities. In America, students must obtain the F-1 visa. For that, they need an admission letter from a SEVP-approved institution and Form I-20 issued by the university. They also will have to prove their financial capability, which includes covering tuition and living costs. Then they must fill in the DS-160 and finally attend a visa interview at the U.S. embassy. In the UK, students wishing to apply for the Student Route visa must possess a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a recognized UK university as well as able proof of sufficient funds for their tuition and living expenses. They also need to pass any English language proficiency requirements, for instance, IELTS. Certain students could be required to take a tuberculosis test depending on the country they are coming from. Completing the above steps rightly brings into play a smooth visa process.
