After you file

Yes if your loan meets the eligibility requirements (see below), then you will be able to claim the foreign bank student loan interest.

Please note - If you are on a F-1 visa, you will be exempt from the Substantial Presence Test for the first 2 (if non-student) or 5 (if student) calendar years that you are in the US. This means that you are considered a non-resident aliens for US tax purposes.

Here is a link to the IRS website for Form 1040NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return

(You can still claim student loan interest on your 1040NR.)
