We will promote you Globally and help you become familiar with U.S. immigration process:

International students who want to study at U.S. high schools typically need an F-1 visa if their goal is to stay in the U.S. for more than one year. Students coming for a one-year exchange program, sponsored by the Department of State, would need a J-1 visa. CSIET evaluates and approves organizations that bring students to U.S. high schools on these visas. Students on an F-1 visa can pursue a full secondary education – and even earn a diploma – at U.S. public and private high schools. However, they can only study at public schools for one year. Regardless of the type of school they attend, international students on an F-1 visa must pay tuition or acquire a scholarship that will.

International students who want to study at U.S. high schools typically need either a F-1 visa or a J-1 visa. Both visas allow students to play basketball however, there are key differences:

An F-1 visa or the “academic student visa” allows the holder to stay in the U.S. for more than one year and does not require a specific source of funding to receive approval. With this visa, the student can rely on family funds, scholarships or industry funding as there are no restrictions. The visa holder must pay tuition or acquire the scholarship that will. Also, through the F-1 visa, the holder is able to study, live and work for the duration of the scholastic program.

Students coming for a one-year exchange program, sponsored by the Department of State, would need a J-1 visa or the “exchange visitor visa”. This visa is for those who wish to take part in work-and-study-based exchange and visitor programs in the U.S. This visa requires that 51% of funding must come from scholarships, grants, fellowships, assistantships, research funding or funding from your home country's government, corporate sector, or other organizations.
