Guide Review
Review from Jennifer and Peter Wipf
After the events of September, 2001, immigration authorities have both been heavily criticized and have cracked down on student applications. It is now harder and the U.S. government requires more information and a stricter criteria, than was previously required. That makes it more important than ever for aspiring students of U.S. educational institutions to be thorough and precise in their applications. For those who were planning to do it on their own because they don't want to or
can't hire an attorney, this kit provides the perfect solution.
Non-immigrant visa laws can be extremely confusing, as can their related
filing and application procedures. This kit can help you determine
eligibility, prepare and file a complete application, plus provide tips
that may help you get approved. For many students, this Student Visa
(F-1) Package from the American Immigration Center will prove invaluable. Its instructions are clear and detailed, with examples and sample forms. You may still have questions
related to immigration laws and certain other procedures down the road. Nevertheless,
if you are eligible, this package can get
you going quickly and you may soon be on your way to being a student in the U.S.
