You must have a student visa to travel to the United States to study; whether you need an F or M visa depends on your course of study and the type of school.
Once an SEVP-approved school accepts your enrollment, you are registered in SEVIS and must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee; the school issues your Form I-20.
Fill in Form DS-160 online, upload your photo, and print the confirmation page to bring to your interview.
Book an interview at the US Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live; wait times vary, so apply early.
