US visa and entry guidance
Full-time language study generally uses an F-1 student visa and requires the school to confirm that it can issue a Form I-20; the correct route still depends on duration, weekly workload, course character, school eligibility and the student's status. Course or visa labels on this page are reference information from the school and do not guarantee a visa outcome. Confirm the I-20 or other school documents for the selected course and follow current US government requirements. Short, part-time or non-credit study may not qualify for a student visa; a visitor route such as B-1/B-2 or ESTA may apply only where current official rules allow incidental recreational study, and cannot be inferred from lesson hours or a school offer.
