F-1 Visa Students

An F-1 visa student is a foreign national who is authorized to enter and study in the United States at an educational institution approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). The F-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, meaning it's not for permanent residency but for temporary study.
