Students

Here is a step-by-step guide for you. If you have any questions, please contact us anytime.

You should apply for a student visa (F-1) if you would like to study full-time in the United States.

A student visa is issued by the American Embassy in your home country.

To apply for a student visa, you must have an I-20 issued by the school you would like to attend. Students on a student visa (F-1) are required by U.S. Immigration law to study in a full-time program with a minimum of 18 hours per week.

JUST GO LANGUAGES is authorized by the U.S. Government to accept international students.

Proof of Income: Bank statements must show at least $13,200 for the F-1 / $6,000 for each F-2 for one year of study. The greater your financial proof, the better. If you choose a shorter study period, ask us, and we will inform you of the proof amount.
