American student visa
Types of American student visas:
American student visas are offered in different types, each of which is intended for different educational purposes. Before taking any action to get a student visa in America, you should consider which type is more suitable for you. American student visa includes types F, M and J; each of these visas are issued in two types 1 and 2. In fact, the number that comes in front of the letters of this type of visas indicates the relationship of people using each visa. If the visa was issued for the person applying for educational services, the number 1 is placed in front of the letter of the educational visa, for example F1, and if the American educational visa was obtained for the spouse and/or child of the applicant, the number 2 is placed in front of the letter of their student visa, like F2.
American F1 student visa:
It can be said that the most common and best type of American student visa is the F1. Almost all those who intend to continue their studies in the United States must apply for this type of student visa after receiving admission from the educational institutions of this country. The American F1 student visa is for study residence of more than six months, and students who have an F1 visa can work a part-time job for 20 hours a week; on the other hand, the chosen job must be within the scope of the university. Of course, this condition is only for the first year of a student’s education, and after completing the first year, one can work independently with the permission of his university.
What is the difference between F1 student visa and F2 student visa?
A person who is eligible for an F1 US student visa can get an American F2 student visa for his spouse and children under 21 years of age. This visa is for the companions of the person applying to continue studying in America. If a person receives an F1 student visa, not only can he study in America, but his family will also be able to continue their education by obtaining an F2 student visa. The difference between the F2 visa and the F1 is that the American F2 student visa is completely dependent on the person holding the F1 visa, and if the F1 visa is revoked, then F2 visas as its subcategory will lose their validity. Keep in mind that US F2 visa holders are only allowed to study in the US, not working in the US by the visa.

American M1 student visa:
The conditions of this type of visa are completely similar to the F1 visa. The only difference between the M1 student visa and the F1 visa is that the M1 visa is only used for some technical and professional fields.
J1 student visa:
This type of visa is only for study opportunities in America and the people who apply for this visa are going to research or teaching in American universities. The validity period of the J1 student visa varies based on the duration of the course. Keep in mind that the J1 student visa holder is required to leave the United States after two years and re-enter the United States if necessary. In addition, a person with a J1 student visa can apply for a J2 visa for the residence of his spouse and children under 21 years of age.
