What's the difference between an American tourist visa and an international student visa?

1.B2 visas are issued to applicants who travel to the United States, including sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends and medical treatment.

B2 Visa holders cannot work in the United States.

2. American immigration law provides two kinds of non-immigrant visas for students studying in the United States. The "F" visa is issued to international students studying in the United States, while the "M" visa is issued to international students studying in non-academic or vocational fields. To obtain a student visa, an applicant must first apply and be accepted by an American school. When you are admitted, the school will send you an I-20 or I-20M form. You must show this form when you come to apply for a visa.

Applicants who apply for a visa to study in the United States must first prove that they are capable of being full-time students in the United States. Applicants must also prove that the sole purpose of their short stay in the United States is to complete their studies in established academic institutions. In addition, the applicant must also prove that he has the ability to pay the tuition fees and the living expenses required during the school period.
