Student Visa
In order to study in the United States, you first must apply
to study at a college or University approved by the USCIS to accept foreign
students. The U.S. Education Foundation (USEF)in Gyaneshwor has a library
of resources about Universities and colleges in the United States, and
can help you determine which schools offer the subjects you are interested
in studying and which may be able to provide financial aid. Though they
cannot recommend individual schools, the counselors at USEF can advise
you about opportunities for study in the United States, application requirements
and university life, and can help you to choose the type of program best
suited to your plans. Preparatory exams such as the TOEFL, GMAT, SAT and
USMLE are also offered at USEF.
If you are accepted to a school in the U.S., the school should send you
Form I-20 or Form DS-2019, depending on the type of program that has accepted
you. Once you have your I-20 or DS-2019 you can apply for a visa to study
in the U.S. You should follow the General Instructions for Application
in order to be scheduled for an appointment with a consular officer. You
should take a copy of your I-20 with you to Nabil Bank Maharajgunj branch
(Behind Namaste Supermarket) when you pay the application fee.
