International students can apply for US visa a year in advance: State Department
Washington, Feb 24 (PTI) In a much-needed relief for foreign students looking to study in the US, the Biden administration has announced they can now apply for a visa up to a year before their academic term begins.
The State Department, however, said that international students will not be allowed to enter the country on a student visa more than 30 days before the start of their programme.
International students are normally issued two categories of US visas – F and M. “Student (F and M) visas for new students can be issued up to 365 days in advance of the start date for a course of study,” the State Department said.
