This applies to children wishing to study at primary and secondary schools, as well as university and vocational schools, including pilot training schools. This form specifies the nature and length of the student's planned study. Having an I-20 does not guarantee that a student visa will be issued. You must also show that you have the funds to pay for your studies in the United States. In addition to obtaining an I-20, students wishing to attend U.S. public schools must include a receipt from the school showing that they have paid all tuition costs.
Current law permits students to attend only one year of senior public high school.
J-1 exchange visitor Students and some temporary workers may also qualify for exchange visitor visas. The exchange visitor visa program is designed to promote the interchange of persons, knowledge and skills in the fields of education, arts and sciences. Participants include students, trainees, teachers, professors, au pairs, and international visitors. Visa Application Instructions To apply for a visa, you will need to present a completed application form which is available at the consular section of the US Embassy in Lisbon, a valid passport, one recent passport-size photograph for each applicant, including children, and proof of your lawful status in Portugal. This fee must be paid in cash at any branch of Banco Portugues do Atlantico.
