To obtain a U.S. student visa (typically an F-1 visa for academic studies or M-1 for vocational studies), you must meet the following criteria:

1. **Acceptance at a SEVP-Certified School**: Secure admission to a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-approved institution (university, college, or language school). You’ll receive a Form I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) from the school.

2. **Financial Proof**: Demonstrate sufficient funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and return travel for at least the first year. This can include bank statements, financial sponsor letters, or scholarship documents. Exact amounts depend on the school’s cost estimates on the I-20.

3. **Valid Passport**: Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the U.S.

4. **SEVIS Fee Payment**: Pay the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) I-901 fee ($350 for F-1, $220 for M-1) before your visa interview. Keep the receipt.

5. **Nonimmigrant Intent**: Prove strong ties to your home country to show you’ll return after studies (e.g., family, job prospects, or property). U.S. law assumes you intend to immigrate unless you convince otherwise.

6. **Visa Application**: Complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application form and upload a passport-style photo. Print the confirmation page with the barcode.

7. **Visa Application Fee**: Pay the non-refundable visa application fee ($185, subject to change).

8. **Visa Interview**: Schedule and attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate. Be prepared to explain your study plans, financial support, and intent to return home. Bring:
- DS-160 confirmation page
- Passport
- I-20 form
- SEVIS fee receipt
- Financial documents
- Academic records (transcripts, diplomas)
- Standardized test scores (if applicable, e.g., TOEFL, SAT)

9. **English Proficiency**: While not always a formal requirement, you may need to show English skills (e.g., TOEFL/IELTS scores) if required by your school or during the interview.

10. **Health and Character**: No specific medical exam is required, but you must disclose any communicable diseases. A criminal record could impact eligibility; disclose any issues upfront.

11. **Dependents (if applicable)**: If bringing family, they’ll need F-2 or M-2 visas. You’ll need additional I-20 forms for them and proof of extra funds.

**Additional Notes**:
- Processing times vary by embassy, so apply early (up to 365 days before your program starts).
- You can enter the U.S. no earlier than 30 days before your program start date.
- Some nationalities may face extra scrutiny or delays due to security checks.
- If your visa is denied, you’ll receive a reason (e.g., insufficient ties or funds). You can reapply with stronger evidence.
