IN TRANSIT INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST TIME INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS TO THE USA

Image
By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web Transit If you are looking for or reserving a ticket to fly to the United States, you should pay close attention to your ticket itinerary if it is not a non-stop direct flight from your nation to the United States. If you want to take a nonstop flight from your home country to the United States, you may skip this part. The kind of passport you possess determines whether or not you require a visa to traverse the intermediate nation on your way to the United States. Some of the arguments made below should be relevant to many Asian and African pupils. Though most Middle Eastern countries and many European countries allow airport transit without a visa, this is only possible if you have a single ticket from your country to the US with a single transit to some country in between where airport transit is permitted without a visa for citizens of your country (your nationality). If you need to depart immigration or customs at any airport, be sur...

IS IT USEFUL TO GO EARLY OR WILL I SIMPLY WASTE MORE MONEY AND BRING UP MY COST OF STUDY?

Image
By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web Is it beneficial to arrive early, or will I just spend more money and increase my study costs? I highly advise you to arrive early. Make plans to arrive at least two weeks in advance, if not more. This will allow you to recover from jet lag and get acquainted with the city. It will give you enough time to find and select a comfortable place to live, as well as to get a net connection, open a bank account, and obtain a city bus-metro student monthly pass (a very useful subsidised pass that will help you move around and get to know your new city), among other personal items. It will also assist you in getting to know your institution and making friends from your nation or community who can better advise you. The great aspect is that you will be rested and ready to begin your course with zeal.

SOMEONE RECOMMENDED THAT I VISIT THE US FIRST ON A TOURIST VISA AND THEN APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA ON MY RETURN. THEY SAY IT MAY BE USEFUL BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE PROVEN MY NON-IMMIGRANT INTENT AND FINANCIAL CAPACITY ON MY PREVIOUS TRIP. IS THAT RIGHT?

Image
By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web Someone suggested that I go to US on a tourist visa first and thereafter apply for a student visa after my return. They say that it may be helpful as I would have proved my non-immigrant intention and final financial capacity by my previous trip. Is that true? Some persons may have visited the United States on a tourist visa on their own or as part of a tour organisation such as "Thomas Cook Holidays" or others. For starters, it would be a highly expensive approach, even if it increased your odds somewhat. Second, even if you have a tourist visa, there is no certainty your student visa will be approved.  If your documentation is not in order and you are unable to satisfy the visa officer with your responses, your student visa application may be denied. In addition to denying the student visa application, the visa officer may opt to terminate the valid tourist visa. So, rather than attempting to get a tourist visa first, it seem...
