Who issues an F-1 visa?
The consular office that has jurisdiction over your place of residence accepts applications for and issues F-1 visas. It is now a requirement of the United States government for every student visa applicant to appear for an in-person interview with his or her local U.S. consulate. The consulate will ask you questions, which we will attempt to prepare you for, as well as request certain documentation. This documentation will include, but is not limited to, your I-20, bank statements, and proof of residence in your home country. This documentation is discussed in the Consulate Interview portion of our web site. The consulate will either approve or deny your visa based on your answers to their questions and the documentation you provide.
