Student visas for United States
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...
Don't worry, everything is ok. We're on it, and we're doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in United States a little easier and more enjoyable.
Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:
- Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in the U.S. yes- you’ll definitely need an F-1 visa.
- Start exploring the official website of the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.
- Check the deadlines. The visa process takes time, and missing a step or delaying your interview could mean missing your semester start. Not the kind of plot twist you want.
- Go on a paperwork treasure hunt. Passport, I-20 form, DS-160 confirmation, SEVIS fee receipt, bank statements, academic transcripts yes, the list is long, and yes, you’ll need every piece.
- Start saving up. You’ll need to show you can financially support yourself while studying in the U.S. That means proving you can cover tuition, living expenses, and possibly even your daily caffeine habits.
- Enhance your English skills, even if you’ve already taken IELTS, Duolingo etc. Strong language proficiency will benefit both your visa interview and academic success.
All in all, getting your F-1 visa might feel like a lot, but it’s a big step toward an even bigger adventure.
Thanks and good luck!
