The M-1 visa offers a great opportunity for students to train in a positive U.S. environment and strengthen their technical and non-academic skills. The M-1 visa is offered to students who wish to pursue full-time study at an USCIS approved vocational or non-academic school in the United States.
These schools are usually community and junior colleges that offer vocational and technical training or vocational high schools. The schools must prove their international students program will reach certain educational objectives and will not be used to make students work.
Your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 are allowed to join you in the U.S., under M-2 status. A prospective student’s Form I-20M-N may be used to request an M-2 visa.
If your spouse and/or dependent children are joining you later, they will need to submit Form I-20M-N, endorsed from the school you are attending. M-2 visa holders cannot work while in the U.S. nor engage in full time study. An M-2 child can attend primary or secondary school.
STEPS:
You must be enrolled as a full time student for an academic educational program with the USCIS approved school. You should have the USCIS form I-20 M-N/ID (Certificate of eligibility) issued by the educational institute.
