Yes. You generally need an F‑1 or M‑1 student visa to study full‑time in the U.S. at a SEVP‑certified school. You cannot undertake full‑time study on a visitor visa.
SEVP (Student and Exchange Visitor Program) certifies schools to enroll international students, and SEVIS is the system used to track F‑1/M‑1 students. Your school issues Form I‑20 through SEVIS, and you must pay the SEVIS fee before your visa interview.
F‑1 students may work on‑campus under certain conditions. After the first academic year, eligible students may use CPT and OPT for practical training related to their field of study, subject to rules.
No. The F‑1 visa is temporary and does not directly grant permanent residence. Some students later pursue other immigration routes, but that depends on separate eligibility and processes.
