Colleges and universities in the United States are some of the best in the world. Many of them value the academic abilities of students from other nations and welcome them as students. If you are a foreign national and have been accepted by a US college university, vocational or trade school for full-time study, you will need to obtain a student visa — called an F-1 visa — in order to study in the US. Student visas are available to those who are either in the US on another type of visa or those outside the US who wish to enter the US to study. Aquino & Loew, experienced immigration attorneys, can help you obtain an F-1 student visa, valid for the duration of your studies. Aquino & Loew can also assist with obtaining authorization to work under the Optional Practical Training program.
Time Is Critical
In all immigration matters, but especially with student visas, timelines can be very tight. Although the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) tries to rush student visa applications through the approval process, as with any government bureaucracy, unpredictable delays and snafus can occur. At Aquino & Loew, we make your student visa application a priority. We will prepare your visa application, make sure that the Form I-20 issued by your school contains all required information, prepare the required affidavit of financial support, and submit your application and all necessary documentation to USCIS. Then we will monitor your application to make sure you get your F-1 visa in time for you to begin your studies. If an unforeseen delay threatens your visa application, we will act fast to intervene with USCIS, resolve the problem, and secure the issuance of your F-1 visa. Aquino & Loew have helped foreign nationals, US residents, and companies in immigration and visa matters for 30 years. Our attorneys understand US immigration laws and regulations, the US immigration system, and how to deal with the immigration service. Aquino & Loew can help you obtain your F-1 visa or your off-campus Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization, so that you can further your education and build your future.
