The United States is the most popular destination for international students. It has a long history of welcoming international students and offers some of the best universities in the world. The US Student Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to pursue academic studies, language training programs, or other vocational or technical training.

What is a US Student Visa?
