US VISA

One of the biggest challenges that students who want to study abroad face is the timely approval of their Visa. Thousands of Indians apply for an American visa every year and a majority of them are students who want to go to the country for higher education. It often happens that these students miss the opportunity because their Visa interview gets delayed.

To prevent such a situation from arising, the US Consulate in Hyderabad has decided to extend the student visa season till August end. This will allow the students who have a later interview date to arrive in the USA in time and commence their program in the university they have been accepted in.
