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. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/cge\/f1-visa-immigration\/\">For more information about F1 Visa, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-secondary-background-color has-secondary-color mt-5 mb-5\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">J1 Visa &amp; Immigration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/cge\/j1-visa-immigration\/\">For more information about J1 Visa, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-secondary-background-color has-secondary-color mt-5 mb-5\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Prospective Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/admissions\/international-students\/\">International Admissions<\/a> for more information about International Undergraduate, Graduate, and Transfer Students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-secondary-background-color has-secondary-color mt-5 mb-5\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Incoming Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mb-5\">Congratulations from the Center for Global Engagement on your admission to the University of Michigan-Flint!
