There are three visa categories that allow international students to study in the United States of America: F-1, M-1 and J-1.

We advise you to apply for your visa as early as possible. If your I-20 or IAP-66 does not arrive in time to obtain the proper visa, you will need to fill out a B-2 prospective student visa, marked "Prospective student to attend Hudson Valley Community College." Do not enter the U.S.A. on a B-2 visitor's visa. |
