M-1 is a type of student visa, which is issued to the foreign nationals who want to study in the United States. Students applying for the US visa usually get confused between M-1 and F-1. You should know that these are two different categories. F-1 is given to those foreigners who wish to engage in academic studies in America at an approved school.
On the other hand, F-1 visa is issued to foreign nationals who want to opt for non-academic or vocational study or training in the country. However, here are things that you need to know about this visa.
- This visa is issued if you want to study at a U.S. institution in non-academic or vocational study or training.
- You need to file the non-immigrant visa electronic application (ds-160) form to apply with digital photograph.
- You need to schedule two appointments in which one is for the Visa Application Center (VAC) and the other one is for the visa interview at the Embassy or Consulate.
- For your appointment, you need documents like passport, DS-160 confirmation page, and appointment confirmation page.
You should also know that spouses (same-sex spouses) and unmarried children under the age of 21 of M-1 visa holder may accompany you with appropriate visa. But spouses and dependents may not work in the country. And, there are several other rules related to this visa that you should know.
