Arizona Students, Trainees, & Other Exchange Immigration Lawyers

Many colleges, universities, and vocational schools in the United States welcome many foreign students each year to study at their campuses, both permanently and temporarily. If you are a foreign national who has been accepted to study in the United States, you will need a student visa (F-1) in order to be permitted to enter the United States to study.

 

The lawyers at Baybik Law Group can help you obtain an F-1 student visa or employment authorization under the Optional Practical Training program once you have completed a degree-based program at a college, university, or vocational school in the United States.


We prepare your visa application, make sure that the I-20 issued by your school contains all required information, prepare the required affidavit of financial support, and submit your application and all necessary documentation to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. We take full responsibility for anything filed and will do everything we can to maximize your chances for approval.

 

Trainees and Other Exchange Visitor Visas

 

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides two nonimmigrant visa categories for persons to participate in exchange visitor programs in the United States. The "J" visa is for educational and cultural exchange programs designated by the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, and the "Q" visa is for international cultural exchange programs designated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

 

You may be eligible for either of these visas and we at Baybik Law Group can help determine this. J visas can be issued for scholastic Preparation, Medical Education and Training, among other study abroad and work programs. If you believe you may qualify for one of these types of visas or need a waiver for one of these types of visas, we can help.
