F1 visa even for a three-week course?

Upvote:8

The fact that determines whether you need the student visa or can travel on a tourist visa is whether the course offers academic credit.

If the course offers credit toward an academic degree, then you must be on a student visa, no matter how short the course is.

The US State Department states:

A visitor (B) visa permits enrollment in a short recreational course of study, which is not for credit toward a degree or academic certificate. Learn more about Visitor Visas.

Study leading to a U.S. conferred degree or certificate is never permitted on a visitor (B) visa, even if it is for a short duration. For example, a student in a distance learning program that requires a period of time on the institution’s U.S. campus must obtain a student (F or M) visa prior to entering the United States.
