F1 Visa & Immigration
All full-time, degree-seeking international students are eligible for an F-1 visa. Most University of Michigan-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. For more information about F1 Visa, click here.
J1 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 the University of Michigan-Flint. Exchange students and visiting staff and students should apply for a J1 Visa. Students with only personal or family funding are NOT eligible for a J-1 visa.
