There are few things you can do early to give yourself a better chance at an education in the USA. 1) Take all the English classes and learning opportunities you can – your tests will be in English and your student visa interview is in English – you must learn English to even consider coming to the USA for your school. 2) Prepare as early as you can to take the big tests like the PSAT and SAT as soon as you can. These tests have a direct impact on whether you will be accepted into a school you want. 3) Ensure you family or sponsor is willing to pay for your education and get documents that show you are able to pay for these years of study. 4) Apply for your student visa as soon as you are accepted into an American college and begin preparing for your visa interview. 5) Get approved for your visa and come over and start classes in your new home and start enjoying college life in the USA.

Once you pick the school you want to attend the process for your student visa begins and your information will be organized and documented by our government. When you apply for your student visa you must let them know the school you have selected so it will be this school that you need to talk about in your student visa interview, document you can pay for your education with your financial information, and be able to explain why you selected the school you did. Ensure that during your student visa interview you make it clear that you will be returning to your home country when you are finished your education – this is critical to be approved for your visa.Good Luck!MikeReply ↓Abdul wahab (samim) September 2, 2020at 6:28 ami want to improve my education in usa.Reply ↓abdulbasit kamal September 9, 2020at 2:54 ami would like to study in USAf i get the visa of USA i promise to regard the law of USA or study in USAthinks the government of USA pave the way for study.best regards abdulbasit kamalReply ↓Noor Gulzar November 7, 2020at 3:04 pmI am an afghan national ,i would like to join a law collage in USA as will as to proceed my high level education in USA.I would like to kindly let me know will you accept the student from Afghanistan ?with kind regardsNoor gulzarReply ↓Mike Ward, M.Ed., Post authorJuly 8, 2021at 11:36 amYes, they will accept students from all over the globe, however there are a few countries that are more difficult than others because our State Department believes these countries are state sponsors of terrorism.
