US entrance requirements are as follows:
1. You must be law-abiding.
2. You must be healthy. No inoculations are required to enter the US unless you have recently stayed in the country with epidemics. HIV-positive people are not allowed to enter the US.
3. You must have sufficient financial resources for your whole stay.
4. You plan to leave the US after you finish the studies.
There are three types of student visas:
F-1 (Student Visa). The F-1 visa is purposed for full-time students enrolled in an academic or language program. F-1 allows students to stay in the US for the full length of their academic program plus 60 days.
J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa). The J-1 visa is purposed for students needing practical training that is unavailable in their home country. Students who have obtained J-1 visa will not be able to apply for US immigrant (permanent residence) visa for two years.
M-1 (Vocational Student Visa). The M-1 visa is purposed for students attending non-academic vocational schools. The M-1 visa can be valid for a maximum of one year, does not allow to change the fields of studies and cannot be switched to F-1 visa.
