Obtaining an entry visa to the USA

Students should contact the USA consular office to obtain an entry visa to study in the USA. Students should provide the consular office with copies of the scholarship letter, letter of admission from a recommended university in the USA, I-20, and valid passports. Upon obtaining the visa, the student needs to make travel arrangements to arrive to his respective university earlier than 30 days from the beginning of his studies. USA universities and colleges will not accept students arriving to the USA with visas for other purposes than studying. Obtaining an F-1 visa requires individuals to return to Saudi Arabia and submit an application to the US consular office.
