International students are defined as "non-immigrant" visitors who come to the United States temporarily to take classes or take online courses virtually from anywhere in the world. A non-immigrant is someone who meets one or more of the following criteria:

• intends to stay in the US temporarily.
• does not have US citizenship or legal permanent resident status (a valid "green card")
• currently is in the US on a non-immigrant visa status (without a valid green card)
• applies for a visa to be allowed entry into the US.

In the United States, there are three primary student visa types: F, J, and M.
