With the F1 Visa you can stay in the US for the duration of the studies. If your needs require it, the student visa can be extended. F1 is a very flexible visa.
Visa F1
This temporary visa is the most common among students going to the United States. It is granted to people who carry out academic studies or an English course full-time.
F-1 students may not work off-campus during their first academic year but may accept on-campus employment provided certain conditions and restrictions are met. After the first academic year, F-1 students may participate in various types of employment off campus.
Visa M1
The M1 visa is valid for one year only. Students may request extensions for a maximum stay of up to three years. In addition, students with M1 visas can generally only change educational institutions within the first six months of the program.
