Procedures and requirements for applying for
a student visa vary from country to country, and they are
more complex and demanding in some countries than in others.
Your nearest U.S. educational information or advising center
can give you valuable information on the application procedures
for your country. If at all possible, attend a predeparture
orientation program organized by the center; it will almost
certainly include information on applying for a visa. The
center may also produce written predeparture materials.
Your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can provide application
forms and specific details of the visa application procedure.
Many embassies and consulates have telephone information lines
and Web sites that provide this information.
There are several things you can do to increase your chances
of a favorable visa decision, such as:
- start the process as early as possible in advance of your
departure date;
- assemble all the documentation that can help make your
case;
- make sure you are well prepared if you are required to
attend an interview.
