U.S.A Student Visa Application Procedure

After submitting the application and tuition fee, wait for the Confirmation of Enrollment (COE), which verifies your enrollment in a specific course.
While visiting the U.S.A. Department, you will need the following documents :
• A good quality and recent portrait photo
• Your passport
• Evidence that you have sufficient funds to maintain your living expenses throughout your stay in the US. This may include:

Bank statements

These should show that you or your sponsor have enough funds in your account to cover tuition, accommodation, and living expenses. Bank statements from the last three to six months are typically required.

A financial undertaking by a sponsor

If someone else, like a family member or a sponsor, is covering your expenses, they need to provide a formal letter of undertaking. This letter should confirm that they will financially support you during your stay, along with their bank statements or other proof of financial capacity.

A scholarship program

If you’ve been awarded a scholarship, you need to provide official documentation from the scholarship provider. This should outline the amount awarded and what expenses it covers, such as tuition, books, and living costs.
