M1 Visa (Vocational or Non-Academic Students)

IV. Applying for the M1 Visa
 
 
The first step is to obtain from the school or vocational institution the Form I-20M-N entitled Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (M1) student status. Schools that have received U.S. Government approval to enroll foreign students have the authority to issue these forms.

  An M1 visa cannot be processed without the Form I-20M-N. Item 11 at the bottom of page one of the Form I-20M-N must be completed and signed by the applicant and submitted together with the following:

A.    DOS Form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application

B.    DOS Form DS-157, Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application, for all male applicants between the ages of 16 and 45

C.    A copy of your passport which is valid for at least six months beyond the period of stay in the U.S. and with at least one blank page

D.    Two identical color photographs showing full face without head covering against a light background. You may wear a headdress if required by a religious order of which you are a member

E.    Evidence demonstrating sufficient funds to cover all expenses including the tuition fee and living expenses. Such evidence may include detailed bank statements of accounts showing that adequate funds are available for transfer, evidence of scholarships and/or combination of finances which will meet the estimated total expenses, including tuition, of your proposed stay in the U.S.

F.    Evidence demonstrating that you have a residence abroad to which you intend to return at the end of your stay in the U.S. This is generally established by evidence of family, professional, property, employment or other ties and commitments to some country other than the U.S. sufficient to cause the applicant to return there at the conclusion of your stay

G.    Your academic qualifications - such evidence may include complete transcripts of grades and test records for the last four years of school and evidence of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores
V. Duration of Stay
  
 You may enter the U.S. up to 90 days before the designated registration date on the Form I-20M-N. You can stay in the U.S. for the period of time it will take to complete the course of study as indicated on the Form I-20M-N plus 30 days, or for one year, whichever is less.
 
VI. Working on the M1 Visa
   
 You may be allowed to accept employment only if it is a required part of your practical training and the employment is approved in advance by the office of the USCIS.
 
VII. Spouses and Children
  
 Spouses and/or children under the age of 21 who wish to accompany or join you in the U.S. for the duration of your stay can apply for M-2 visas.
