Successful US Student Visa Presentati­on (F1) held for all interested in US education by the American Centre with ANC Education

Another Session will be held on the 15th July 2014 to meet the overwhelmi­ng demand

-

ANC Education as the pioneer tertiary education institute in Sri Lanka coll a b o r at e d w i t h the American CentreColo­mbo, to organize a F1Student Visa Advisory Session on the 27th June 2014. The session was well attended by both aspiring students and parents seeking binding informatio­n on American students Visa.

The session covered the most vital informatio­n an applicant should be acquainted with in order to gain successful entry to the United States. Students and parents were given insights into the types of institutes to choose, clearing the basic perplexiti­es in University or College applicatio­ns. Acknowledg­ing the importance of accreditat­ion the speakers also touched on the evaluation criteria for educationa­l institutio­ns in the country.

Most of the procedures and requiremen­ts for applying for a student visa are standardiz­ed but some procedures vary by condition. Hence a substantia­l part of the session covered the finances and other student visa requiremen­ts and consisted of a Q & A session. All the queries were answered with expertise and further guidance was given where needed. The F1- Student Visa is the most common type of student visa. If you wish to engage in academic studies in the United States at an approved school, such as an accredited U. S. college or university, you should possess an F-1 visa.

For many students interested in undergradu­ate studies overseas, acquiring a student visa from the relevant country can be confusing and daunting. Thus, the process involves much advanced planning and considerat­ion to the University Applicatio­n Process. Getting your visa to study in the United States takes time but can be a surprising­ly easy procedure, given that the student is directed and assisted accurately. It is well worth the effort.

Hundreds of students accepted by Universite­s have had their Visas rejected every semester as a result of misguided informatio­n and lack of knowledge in the Visa Applicatio­n Process.

Attendees of the session l e a r ned about their options and about their status as internatio­nal student, through a brief presentati­on that was followed by a question and answer session.

The oversubscr­ibed ses- sion was a huge success and benefited many aspirant students with their concerns. Due to popular demand ANC Education will be hosting a repetition of the session cond u c t e d M s. Sheela Krishnan, Consular American Embassy Sri Lanka, at the American Centre on the 15th of July 214.

Prior reservatio­ns must be made to ensure participat­ion due to the limited number of seats. Call 0777414415.

These sessions are informatio­n sessions which constitute an integral part of services provided to offer informatio­n, advice, guidance, etc. for genuine students, and are coordinate­d by the American Centre Colombo.
