An F-1 student is in the U.S. as a non-immigrant pursuing a "full course of study" to complete a specific educational objective at an academic institution designated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to host international students and certified to issue Certificates of Eligibility through the SEVIS system. F-1 status is acquired by entering the U.S. through a port of entry using a Form I-20 and an F-1 visa issued by a U.S. Consulate; or, if the applicant is already in the U.S. in another valid status, by applying for change to F-1 status using the Form I-20.
