Yes, after receiving your admission offer letter from a U.S. university, you can start your student visa application process.

First, you’ll need your Form I-20 from the university. Then pay the SEVIS fee (currently $350 for F-1 visas, subject to change), complete the DS-160 visa application form, and schedule your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Be sure to gather all required documents, including your passport, I-20, DS-160 confirmation, and fee receipts.
