Applying for Your US Student Visa (F-1) Simplified

Studying in the USA offers a world-class education, but the visa application process (primarily the F-1 Student Visa) can be complex. At RTL Immigration & Visa Advisory, we simplify every step for students in Bangladesh, guiding you from university admission to final visa approval.

I. Essential Requirements for USA Student Visa (F-1)

To qualify for an F-1 visa, applicants must meet specific criteria. Our experts help you prepare the following:

1. Acceptance from SEVP-Approved School: You must be accepted by a U.S. school certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).

2. Form I-20: Once accepted, you will receive the Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," which is essential for your visa interview.

3. Proof of Funds: You must demonstrate sufficient financial resources to cover your tuition and living expenses for the entire period of study.

4. Ties to Bangladesh: Strong proof of social, economic, and family ties to your home country, showing you intend to depart the U.S. after completing your studies.

5. English Proficiency: Necessary scores from tests like IELTS or TOEFL (varies by university).
