Getting your visa for an English course in Los Angeles
International students studying in Los Angeles need an F-1 student visa for full-time English programmes (18+ hours weekly) or a B-2 tourist visa for part-time courses. Your language school in Los Angeles will issue an I-20 form, which you’ll need for your US Embassy visa interview. You'll need to demonstrate financial capacity—typically $2,000-3,500 monthly for living expenses in Los Angeles. Most European applicants experience straightforward approval within 2-6 weeks, while other countries may face longer waits. Our experts are on hand to help, so get in touch for personalised guidance on your visa requirements.
