  • Create a detailed checklist of the required documents for the visa application process. This may include the Form DS-160, I-20 or DS-2019, proof of financial ability, proof of ties to home country, and any additional documents mandated by the U.S. embassy or consulate.

Understanding SEVIS:

  • Explain the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and its significance in the visa process. Detail the SEVIS fee payment and the role of the I-20 (for F-1 visas) or DS-2019 (for J-1 visas) in the SEVIS system.

Preparing for the Visa Interview:
