US Releases First Portion of Student Visa Appointments for Indian Students

By Casey May 8, 2024 2 min. read

Indian students will have an opportunity to book US student visa interviews starting in late May! The US Consulate announced the first round of appointments, with more expected in the coming weeks. This is welcome news, as the US remains a top choice for Indian students seeking international education. Despite the popularity of the US for international study, be aware that the number of student visa denials is also on the rise.

No Shortcuts, But Strategies Help: Acing Your US Student Visa Interview

While there’s no magic formula to guarantee success, preparation is key for your US visa interview. Be ready to talk in detail about why you chose your university, your future career goals, and how your degree program will add value. Your goal is to show your dedication to learning and professional ambitions.

Consular officials want to see driven, capable students who will thrive in the US. Their goal isn’t to trick you, but to figure out if your plans align with the best interests of yourself, the university, and the US.

International students seeking an F-1 student visa must invest time and effort for a successful US visa interview. There’s no fast-track way to study and build a career in the United States.

US Visa Policy Updates Will Help with Student Visa Backlogs

In November 2022, the US implemented a policy change to improve the integrity of the student visa system. Now, anyone applying for an F, M, or J visa must provide their correct passport information when they create their profile and book their appointment.

This change is intended to prevent fraud and make sure only legitimate applicants use the visa system.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
