With knowledge about the effective steps to secure a US student visa amidst the crowd of other applications, an Indian student can fulfill the dream of studying abroad.
When to apply for a US Student Visa
“Student visa applications are considered once the applicant gets admission in a recognized college or University in US and shows proof of admission”, says A Mucchal, educational consultant working for a reputed counseling firm in Mumbai. The visa officials require a student to furnish the I-20 form as signed by the educational institutes’ authorities confirming the applicant’s admission in their college.
Application for the US student visa can be placed 120 days prior to the start of a new academic year. However, the entry limit to the country stands at 30 days before the beginning of the academic course.
