How do I get the M-1 visa?

After receiving an immigration form I-20 from Access Institute, a student should make an appointment at his/her nearest US Consulate to apply for a student visa. Before you go in for your appointment, you are required to pay a SEVIS fee (www.fmjfee.com). You will need your I-20 when paying the fee as you will need information from the I-20 to input into the fee receipt system. After you pay the SEVIS fee, you need to print out the receipt. While appearing for the visa appointment, you need to take your I-20, your passport, SEVIS fee receipt, proof of funds, proof of ties to your home country, and any other specific documents that your consulate requires. It is extremely important that you are issued the correct visa – M-1. Check the visa placed on your passport before you leave the Consulate – if there is an error, bring it to the consular’s attention. More information about the visa application process can be found on the US Department of State website.
Note: Make your travel plans to come to the US after you have received the visa endorsement from the US embassy.
