Answer 1

Your next step is to apply for an F-1 visa at the nearest US embassy/consulate.  The exact requirements vary slightly by location – log onto the website of the location at which you intend to apply for exact details.  Generally, you will need the following:  Your valid I-20; the non-refundable visa fee; SEVIS fee receipt; valid passport; completed DS-156 application form (must be filled out on-line, printed, and brought to your appointment); additional forms as required; a recent 5cm x 5cm photo taken against a white background, stapled to the DS 156; court and/or police records if required; and financial proof of ability to cover all expenses.
