Introduction
• Bagging an admit from a top university in the US is a very commendable
feat in itself; however, that does not grant you the right to fly to the
admitted university in US.
• Many students, despite having an admit from a US university, still fail to
finally travel to their dream university because they fail to clear the visa
process.

F1 visa is the final hurdle that has to be crossed to travel to the US
university.
• It is advised that you prepare for the visa interview in advance, even
before you book your visa interview date.

Be clear & straightforward about your future plans and your intention

willing to do in the short-run as well as in the long-run.
Avoid saying that you are interested to work there or intend to stay back
after the course as this could be detrimental to your visa application.

to come back to your home country post completion of the degree.
