The M1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign pupils to come to the US to take part in vocational, non-academic studies.
While on the M1 Visa students cannot register for academic courses. If you would like to come to the US to study at an academic institution, you should consider applying for the F1 Student Visa instead.
Those who come to the US on the M1 Visa can study on a part-time basis for up to six months but they are not allowed to seek employment and work.
To be eligible for the M1 Visa, you have to be able to prove that you have enough funds to cover all expenses during your stay in the US.
In most cases, the M1 Visa is initially granted for a period of one year.
Nevertheless, those who wish to stay in the US longer can apply for an extension of up to three years.
