With the rising trend of foreign education among Indian students in the recent years, there has been a major efflux of aspiring candidates into top overseas education destinations such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, etc. The US, in particular has been a hotspot for students looking for undergraduate and graduate programs in most of the popular disciplines such as computer science, public health, data analytics, engineering, architecture, etc. The US is well known, not only for its high quality research and educational standards, but also for the abundant teaching assistantships and other on-campus opportunities for International students.

Owing to this increased frequency of student efflux in the US, parents of new aspirants make the mistake of not paying enough attention to details while they prepare for their child’s overseas journey. This often results in minor to major mistakes during application, or worse, during Student Visa USA application.

It is hence advised that the student must get expert assistance from those who have are familiar with the process and have already guided many students before.
