Questions about this service

How is this different from F1 Student Visa Preparation?

The services included are the same. Guides and interview practice focus on vocational and technical programs instead of academic study.

Do I need my I-20 before I buy?

Yes. This package starts once you have an I-20 from a U.S. vocational or technical school.

Are the SEVIS fee and visa fee included?

No. You pay them directly; our guides show you how.
