Hello, may I ask if I already have an appointment letter for an F1 visa in the United States, do I s

No need. The U.S. F1 visa is issued to students studying in the United States full-time, there is no quota for the number of students, and the F1 visa allows you to work on campus, and special approval is required if you want to work off-campus; F2 visas are issued to international students (F1 visa holders) spouses, children. If you have already received a letter of acceptance from a U.S. school, you can apply for an F1 nonimmigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad or USCIS.

However, these schools must be recognized by USCIS as qualified to admit foreign students.

1.The applicant is studying in the U.S. as a full-time student;

2.The applicant has been admitted to a U.S. school with the goal of obtaining a degree, diploma, or diploma.

3.Applicants have strong English listening, speaking, and writing skills, and are able to complete various course requirements in an English-taught environment; Alternatively, the school to which the applicant is applying can offer special programs to help bridge the language barrier.

4.The applicant has sufficient financial support (prepare detailed proof of family funds and proof of legal income of the parent or individual who matches the proof) to be able to guarantee that the applicant will complete the course of study full-time.

5.Applicants should return to their home country upon completion of their studies (prepare for their own repatriation development plan after completing their studies in the United States).

You don't need to make an appointment.

1. A few days before you are ready to go to CITIC to deliver on behalf of CITIC, fill in DS160** on the official website of the U.S. Consulate to generate a confirmation page.

2. Take your passport to CITIC Bank to get a queue ticket and buy a visa fee at the counter, and the visa fee for F1 is 1024 yuan.

A valid passport, one** (51mm*51mm bareheaded color on white background**, preferably recently photographed), green visa fee.

Joint, DS160 confirmation page, I-20** and school transcripts.

4. After finishing up, you will be asked to go to the window to pay the cost of delivery.

5. Come back and fill in a courier form, and you can wait for the courier passport and visa.

As long as your passport is valid and there is no transfer in the middle of the process, then the renewal process and fees are the same as the first visa. The official website of the U.S. Embassy in China also has a detailed description, which can be referred to below.

1.Renewal conditions.

First of all, you have to be eligible

Same type as last time.

Expires within 48 months.

Haven't been checked.

If you meet all of these requirements, you can renew your visa without an interview, but you may also be drawn back for an interview.

First of all, was the last time you got a U.S. visa a one-time pass, and have you ever been checked?

There are some differences in the materials prepared.

The fee for renewal and interview is not the same.

If you don't change schools, don't open the package given by the school, fill in DS160**, upload it as a new **, passport, purchase visa fee, and go to CITIC Bank to submit the renewal if you don't change schools.

In the past, in many posts, there was no clear explanation of the submission of the SEVIS fee, especially the submission of the SEVIS fee for the return of F1 and J1. There are even partial not-so-correct instructions. The two key documents are posted below.

There are many applicable situations, please refer to these two documents carefully according to your own situation, especially for visa returns.

Roughly summed it up:

1, generally F1, J1 needs to be paid. Accompanying students does not need to be paid.

It is important to note that the J1 sponsor does not need to pay if it is a U.S. federal funder**. (See English document --j for details).

2. F1, J1 that have been denied

The SEVIS fee is valid for 12 months. In other words, if the visa is rejected after submitting the SEVIS fee, you can apply for an N visa for one year without paying it again. (See English document --p,q,r).

3. F1 and J1 for visa return

F1 and J1 issued before August 2004 are not subject to SEVIS fees. (See English document --k for details).

F1 and J1 issued after August 2004 are generally not required to renew the same visa. (See English document --k for details).

However, if the F1 status has expired for more than 5 months at the time of return, you will need to submit it again. (See English document --h for details).

If the J1 status has expired for more than 4 months, it needs to be submitted again. (See English document --f for details).

4. Return to the visa at the same time to transfer to the school or J1 to the project.

Generally, it is necessary to submit, but the situation is more complicated, so carefully refer to the English document.

Not the same.

The visa fee of $131 needs to be paid at CITIC Bank with the applicant's original passport, and the two receipts should be taped to the last page of DS156.

$100 sevis, get your I-20, passport and credit card ready, register and pay the fee on this **.

Finally, print out the receipt, the original receipt will be sent later, and you can take the printed one when you get the visa.
