Visa for Graduates What Type Of Visa Will I Be Eligible For? The most common student visa is F1, obtained with an I-20 certification of eligibility. The I-20 is issued by the institution which has given you admission. How Long Does It Take To Get A Student Visa? You are advised to apply for a visa as soon as you have received your I-20. The visa process may take up to 3 months, and in some instances longer. Security clearance is now required for all who have been accepted as eligible for a visa, and this process takes time. Normally you are informed of the Embassy's decision on your visa application on the day you apply, whether or not you have qualified. If you have, then your application must clear further security checks. The process, as said earlier, takes time. Is It Very Difficult To Get A Student Visa? It is not difficult if you possess all the necessary documents, meet the requirements stated above, and are able to convince the consular officer that you have well laid out career plans upon your return to Pakistan. The package you present of your credentials and other documents when you apply for the visa is critical, and you may wish to seek the guidance and advice of an educational adviser. |
