  1. You have to apply in a school first. If you get accepted, the school will send you an I-20. Then, you have to apply for a student visa. If you are granted an F1 visa (student visa) your B1/B2 visa (visitor) will be canceled.

    Oh yeah. You have to pay a SEVIS fee for like $100 before you apply for a student visa.


  2. Here in USA, applicants must possess the equivalent of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution (which is your current school).

    As a prospective student (in USA) is expected to present a superior overall previous academic record. Other factors, such as work experience and career progression, are also important and will be considered by the Admissions Committee.

    Different school has different criteria. So, you have to choose first which school you want to apply. After that, just contact the school and ask for their criteria and procedure. But usually after you contact them, one of the admission committee will help you with the admission procedure.

    Here is a website about anything you'll need to know on how to apply to university in America.

    In order for you to get the student visa, you have to apply for school first, if you get accepted, you will get I-20 then you can apply for visa. You don't have to go back to your country in order to get the student visa, the school can work with the government in order for you to get the temporary student visa. But when you go back to your country, you will have to apply for the valid student visa.

    If you get the visa, you will still have the tourist visa, they will not take it away from you.

    GOOD LUCK with your studies.
