Is a child eligible for a student visa?

A child in Washington may be eligible for a student visa if they meet the requirements of U.S. immigration law. The United States allows foreign students to pursue a U.S. education by obtaining a student visa. To be eligible for a student visa, a child must be accepted to a school that is accredited by the government and has been designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) school. Additionally, the child must be able to demonstrate that they can financially support themselves while in the U.S. and they must be able to demonstrate that they are able to leave the U.S. upon completion of their studies. Lastly, the child must be able to demonstrate that they have no criminal record and pass a medical examination. If a child meets these requirements, then they may be eligible for a student visa.

Respuesta: Es posible que un niño sea elegible para una visa de estudiante dependiendo de su lugar de origen, edad y cualificaciones académicas. Se debe tener en cuenta que las leyes de inmigración son diferentes para los niños en el estado de Washington. Para los niños que residen en el estado, es más difícil obtener una visa de estudiante, ya que deben cumplir los requisitos de educación y asistir a una escuela autorizada del estado. También deben demostrar que pueden cubrir los gastos de matrícula. Los solicitantes de las visas de estudiante también deben cumplir los requisitos de elegibilidad del gobierno federal. Estos incluyen: (1) ser aceptado por una escuela acreditada en EE. UU., (2) mostrar que pueden pagar todos sus gastos durante su estancia en el país, (3) no tener intenciones de trabajar ilegalmente y (4) demostrar que tienen un fin educativo para su estancia.
