F-1 Visa & Immigration
All full-time, degree-seeking international students are eligible for an F-1 visa. Most UM-Flint international students hold F-1 visa status; however, some students may be eligible for both a J-1 visa and an F-1 visa. In this case, you may have to choose which one is best for you.
J-1 Visa & Immigration
To be eligible for a J-1 visa, at least 50% of your total financial support must be from a source other than personal or family funds. This financial support may be a scholarship, fellowship, or assistantship from an external funding source such as your home government, a corporate sponsor, or UM-Flint. Exchange students and visiting staff and students should apply for a J-1 visa. Students with only personal or family funding are not eligible for a J-1 visa.
