M1 Vocational Student Visa – For Non-Academic & Technical Programs in the USA
The M1 Visa is a non-immigrant visa designed for international students who wish to enroll in non-academic, technical, or vocational programs in the United States. Unlike the F1 visa, which is for academic study, the M1 is ideal for those pursuing career-focused training such as culinary arts, mechanics, aviation, design, and other trade programs.
To qualify, you must receive a valid Form I-20 from a U.S. vocational or technical school and demonstrate sufficient financial support for your tuition and stay.
At AK Consultancy, we provide complete assistance with M1 visa processing—from choosing the right program to preparing your application and acing your visa interview.
Key Features of the M1 Visa:
- For full-time enrollment in vocational or technical institutions
- Requires a Form I-20 issued by a U.S. school
- Limited on-campus work (no off-campus work permitted)
- Stay allowed for the duration of your training plus 30 days
- Work authorization may be available after completion (in some cases)
