M-1 Visa

The M-1 visa is a type of U.S. visa designed for international students pursuing vocational or technical training programs. It allows them to stay in the U.S. for the duration of their course, including any practical training necessary for their field. Unlike regular academic student visas, M-1 visas are specifically for non-academic programs like technical schools, vocational institutes, or trade schools. The visa typically limits employment opportunities during the course, but students can often work in specialty training positions related to their program after completing their studies.
