STUDENT VISA
 

The visa is a document that grants you permission to travel to other countries and also defines your status in that country. There are 2 main kinds of visa-Immigrant Visa and the Non-Immigrant visa.

The Immigrant visa is required of people who are planning to migrate or settle down permanently in a particular country of which they are not currently citizens. The Non -Immigrant visa is a temporary visa, which does not permit you to become a citizen of that country, but can visit that country for a specified time. A student is required to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa.
It is often observed that most deserving students fail to get visas, as they do not know how to present their evidence before the consulate office and due to insufficient documentary proofs they fail to perform at the visa interview. We at Edwise International believe that a good preparation and systematic visa file containing all the Documentation required helps a student to reply promptly and confidently at the visa interview. Edwise International conducts mock interviews with students with the regular questions asked at the Consulate.

PREPARATION OF DOCUMENTS FOR THE VISA INTERVIEW

The following documents need to be submitted at the Consulates for Visa application:
♦ Visa application form
♦ Visa fees
♦ Passport

A student may go on any day for the visa interview, in the 90 days period prior to the expiry date mentioned on the Letter of Admission / Acceptance or the I-20.
