Can we apply for a USA (student visa) if we are only 16? 

Yes, you can apply for a U.S. student visa if you are 16 years old or younger, but there are some important considerations and requirements to keep in mind:

• School Acceptance: You must be accepted by a U.S. school or educational institution that is willing to issue you a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 for F-1 visas or DS-2019 for J-1 visas). This document is crucial for your visa application.
• Financial Support: You will need to demonstrate that you have the financial means to cover your tuition fees and living expenses in the United States.
• Guardianship: If you are under 18, you will need to have a legal guardian appointed in the United States who will be responsible for your well-being and care during your stay.
• Consent: You may be required to provide written consent from your parents or legal guardians to travel to the United States for educational purposes.
• Visa Interview: You will need to attend a visa interview at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country, along with your legal guardian if required.
• SEVIS Fee: Pay the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee, as it applies to your visa type.

It's essential to check the specific requirements and procedures on the website of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you plan to apply, as they may have additional guidelines for minor visa applicants.
