**** Moving from Work to Student Visa forum ****

There is none, though it is harder to justify the visa for a elementary school kid or a senior citizen.

Thank you! The reason I ask is, I went through numbers of links and I could not find a specific link (not even on USCIS web page) … So I guess there is no limitation as most forms specify that you have to be 21 years old to apply…. Ummmm… I see…

I have never heard of a 21 for student visa... there are some immigrant visa where the petitioner needs to be 21, but not the beneficiary, and it doesn't apply to student visas anyway. I know of plenty of people under 21 that went to US colleges- and sometimes US highschools- on an F1.

Can someone please let me know what is the minimum and maximum student visa (F1)age requirements are?

There is no minimum and no maximum age specified.

There's no reason why a 6-year-old, son of the Prince of Brunai, should not go to a private school in the United States, even if they charge $75,000 in tuition per year. There's also no reason why a 60-year-old who retired early and has the goal to become a doctor not go to school in the United States if he can afford it and is being accepted as a student.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

I was 20 when I got my first F-1 visa.

And as brother said, you can be 6 or 60. As long as you've been accepted into a US institution and can pay, that's what matters.
