In addition to a valid passport, there are two documents that you need to enter the United States as a student:
I-20 Form.
McDaniel College will request the I-20 Form (Certificate of Eligibility for the Non-Immigrant [F-1] Student Status) from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service when you have met the following requirements:
-
Submitted the Certification of Finances form and bank statement (See here)
-
Presented a valid TOEFL Score Record with adequate scores (See here)
F1 Student Visa
Student are expected to apply for the F-1 student visa on an individual basis. (The issuance of the I-20 Form does not mean that a student will automatically receive the F-1 student visa.) You should visit the US Embassy website regarding information on the application procedure, the fees, the visa interview, etc. (http://hungary.usembassy.gov>home>Visas to the US>Non-Immigrant Visas)
The U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act states that every foreign national applying for a non-immigrant visa to the U.S. is "presumed to be an intending immigrant" until judged otherwise. Therefore, during your visa interview, you will need to verify that you have strong and stable ties to your family and home country to indicate that your stay in the US will temporary and that you will not work illegally while there.
