The following paragraphs could be
of interest to you if you are planning to apply for
a US visa shortly and have gained an admission in
a US university.

There are rumours floating around
about how difficult it is now to obtain a US student
visa after the terrorist attacks in the US. Students
have written to us about the problems that their friends
and relatives have faced in the visa process. Some
of them have gone to the extent of applying to universities
in other countries and are not even trying for a visa
for US.
|
| From our experience
and the success our students have achieved, we simply
dispute the rumours. These rumours have no basis and
are not backed by any decisions to this effect by the
authorities in the US. What is true however is that
the consulates are certainly more careful while scrutinizing
documents. |
The US is looking for genuine students.
If you are one, you should get the student visa. Of
course, you should prepare well for the visa process.
|
To
all students applying for a student visa the
following is the two-step advise that we can
offer. |
 |
Get
your documentation in order. Ensure that your
documentation projects the financial position
of your sponsor properly, and you as a genuine
student who wishes to study in the US. |
|
Plan
to apply early |
|
If you want to be sure about your
documentation and do not wish to take a chance, you
could consider taking up the highly personalized visa
counseling service of Megway. Our counselors have

necessary to face the visa officer. Grateful letters
of Appreciation from students who got their visas
stand testimony to our expertise and commitment.
