Dreaming of studying in the USA? You’re not alone. The United States remains one of the most sought-after destinations for international students, thanks to its world-class universities, diverse campus culture, and endless opportunities. But before you pack your bags and board that flight, there’s one crucial step you need to get right: applying for your USA student visa (F1 Visa).
This process can feel overwhelming—but that’s where Kaprisan Overseas comes in. As India’s leading student visa consultancy, we’ve helped thousands of students turn their American Dream into a reality. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the process, step-by-step, with insider tips, expert advice, and a touch of real talk.
Step 1: Get Accepted to a SEVP-Approved School
Before applying for a student visa, you must secure admission to a SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program)-certified institution in the USA. Once accepted, the school will issue a Form I-20, which is your official document to apply for the F1 visa.
Kaprisan Tip: Our team helps you shortlist top universities based on your profile, budget, and career goals—saving you time, stress, and money.
Step 2: Pay the SEVIS Fee
After receiving your Form I-20, you’ll need to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee (currently $350 for F1 applicants). This is mandatory and non-refundable.
Pro Insight from Kaprisan: Students often forget to pay this on time. We ensure all deadlines are tracked and fees are processed correctly, with no last-minute surprises.
Step 3: Complete the DS-160 Visa Application
The DS-160 is the online non-immigrant visa application form. It’s long and detailed, and mistakes here can delay your visa.
Why Kaprisan Stands Out: Our visa experts personally review each application to avoid errors and ensure everything aligns with your admission documents.
Step 4: Pay the Visa Application Fee
You’ll need to pay the MRV (Machine Readable Visa) fee, which is approximately $185. After payment, you’ll receive a confirmation receipt required for scheduling your visa interview.
Step 5: Schedule Your Visa Interview
Once your DS-160 is submitted and the fee is paid, it’s time to book your F1 visa interview at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Slots fill up quickly—especially during peak admission seasons—so timing is key.
Kaprisan Advantage: We not only book your interview promptly but also prep you with mock visa interviews and personalized coaching. Our students walk in confidently—and come out with an approved visa!
Step 6: Attend the Interview
This is the final and most crucial step. The consular officer will evaluate your intent to study, your financial ability, and your ties to your home country. Honesty, clarity, and preparation are your best friends here.
