Yes, it's possible to apply for a student visa without the GRE or GMAT for certain master's programs in the US. 

Many universities now offer waivers for these exams, especially for specific courses or if an applicant has extensive work experience and academic background. 

These universities instead focus more on other aspects, such as undergraduate grades, letters of recommendation, and personal statements to admit students to their master’s program. 

Always check the specific requirements of each university before applying. 

Once admitted, you can proceed with the student visa application process. For the visa interview, be ready to explain why the university didn’t require the GRE/GMAT and focus on demonstrating how you meet the program’s qualifications.
