F-1 Visa
Simplify Your F-1 Visa Application with Expert Help
The F-1 Visa is the cornerstone of academic aspirations for international students wishing to study in the United States. From gaining admission to a top-tier institution to managing documentation, the process can seem daunting.
At Larhdel Law, we provide expert guidance to help you overcome these hurdles with confidence and ease. Call us today at 310 943 6352 to start your journey toward studying in the USA.
Why is the F-1 Visa Process Challenging?
- Proving Financial Stability: Demonstrating sufficient funds for tuition, living expenses, and other costs.
- Proving Intent to Return Home: Showing ties to your home country to establish non-immigrant intent.
- Managing SEVIS Requirements: Understanding and complying with SEVIS fee and system requirements.
- Handling Visa Interview Questions: Preparing for questions about academic goals, finances, and intent to return.
Each of these challenges can delay your academic plans—but with professional assistance, they’re entirely manageable.

Customized Solutions for Unique Cases
Every situation is different. We tailor our approach to address specific challenges for graduate, undergraduate, or language training applicants.
What Activities Are Allowed Under the F-1 Visa?
- Enrolling in degree programs at U.S. universities and colleges
- Attending private secondary or elementary schools
- Participating in language training programs
- Engaging in authorized on-campus employment or practical training (OPT or CPT)
Activities outside these parameters require additional authorization.
Step-by-Step Process for Securing Your F-1 Visa
- Choose a SEVP-Certified Institution: Apply to a school accredited by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Upon acceptance, you’ll receive a Form I-20.
- Pay the SEVIS Fee: The SEVIS fee ($350) supports the system tracking international students. Retain the receipt for your visa interview.
- Complete the DS-160 Form: Fill out the Nonimmigrant Visa Application accurately to avoid errors or delays.
- Gather Supporting Documents: Prepare essentials like a valid passport, Form I-20, financial proof, and academic records.
- Attend the Visa Interview: Be prepared to discuss your academic goals, finances, and ties to your home country with confidence.
- Await Your Decision: Visa approvals typically take a few weeks. Once approved, your passport will be returned with the visa stamp.
