Procedures and requirements for applying for
a student visa vary from country to country, and inevitably
they are more complex and demanding in some countries than
in others. There are a number of places where you can obtain
more information on the visa application process in general
and the specific requirements for your country:
- Your nearest U.S. educational information and advising
centers will be able to give you valuable information on
the application procedures for your country. If at all possible,
attend one of their pre-departure orientation programs;
it will almost certainly include information on applying
for a visa. Some centers may also produce written predeparture
materials.
- Your nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can provide application
forms and specific details of the application procedure.
They often have telephone information lines and Web sites
that provide this information.
- Predeparture Information
covers the visa application in more detail.
There are several things you can do to increase your chances
of a favorable visa decision:
- Start the process as soon as you can 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.
