Client Stories
Said
He reached out together with his wife: she already had a U.S. tourist visa, while he had five consecutive refusals. But we decided to try for the sixth time.
We completed the application accurately, gathered all the necessary documents, and thoroughly prepared him for every possible interview question.
He was approved for a 10-year tourist visa.
She received a one-year visa (the maximum duration for Russian citizens).
SOFIA
During her studies, she decided to apply for a bachelor's degree.
She came with the goal of improving her English and enrolled in language courses in New York.
She was admitted to The New School (Parsons) for the Fine and Studio Arts program, where we helped her secure a scholarship of $11,000 per year.
After returning to Astana, she obtained another one-year visa.
Juliana
She reached out with an expiring visa and a tight deadline — she wanted to make it to New York in time for her birthday.
A Russian citizen with a European residence permit.
Within two weeks, we found the earliest available appointment — in Spain, without an interview.
Thanks to our preparation, she submitted her documents and received a three-year visa.
Asel
Our close friend who had been dreaming of America for many years.
But she was denied the visa at the interview, and we were very upset.
A citizen of Kazakhstan.
Without hesitation, we scheduled her for a second application. We didn’t change anything — even the documents stayed exactly the same.
We handled her case from start to finish — everything was prepared perfectly.
On her second attempt, Assel met with a different officer and received a five-year student visa.

Yes, provided you applied before your current status expired.

Fully online programs are not permitted for F-1 students. Some colleges may allow partial online study, but the majority must be attended in person on campus.
SEVIS is an immigration fee required for student visas (F-1, J-1, M-1). It’s used to register and track international students via the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Not at all. You can reapply and try again. The key is understanding why you were denied and fixing it in future submissions. Remember, the human factor also influences the officer’s decision.
The I-20 is issued by your U.S. school or university after admission. Without it, you cannot apply for an F-1 visa.
“U.S. visa” and “100% guarantee” don’t go together. Many factors affect the decision, including luck and the consul’s mood. What can you do? Prepare thoroughly and be ready for any outcome.
Yes, we can help if that’s all you need.
Unofficially, yes. Applicants who have traveled to the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, or Australia often get U.S. visas more easily. This shows you previously respected visa rules and returned home proving you’re a traveler, not an immigrant.
If you’ve been outside the U.S. for over 5 months, check with the U.S. Embassy to confirm if your visa is still valid. Otherwise, you’ll just need a new I-20 to enter with your F-1 visa.
Unlike Schengen visa applications, this is not required. Just provide intended travel dates.
Options include: changing to student status, applying for EB-1/EB-2, marrying a U.S. citizen/resident, seeking asylum, or investing in the U.S. economy. We’ll guide you through every step. Important: Do this before your current status expires.
No, participation has no impact. It’s officially allowed and is not considered immigration intent unless you win and start the process.
After the program, you may apply to change status (F-1, J-1 trainee/intern, asylum, or another legal status). We’ll help determine the best path and process it correctly. Important: Contact us before your program ends.
No. A visa is for crossing the border; legal status allows you to stay in the U.S. Status can be changed while inside the country, but a new visa can only be obtained through a U.S. consulate.
Yes! A bank account setup, health insurance, driver’s license application, choosing a mobile carrier, and more. Assistance with housing/employment possible upon request.
Usually nothing. If your visa is long-term (e.g., 10-year tourist visa), you can use it again after leaving and returning to the USA.
We partner with educational institutions on both coasts, but are not geographically limited. We assist clients in any of the 50 states.
Yes, under specific conditions: On-Campus Employment: Up to 20 hours/week during studies, full-time during breaks. School assists with SSN. CPT (Curricular Practical Training): Allowed if related to your academic program. OPT (Optional Practical Training): Post-program work (up to 12 months or 36 months for STEM). Working without authorization is prohibited and may lead to loss of status. We can help assess eligibility and prepare documents for legal SSN and work permission.
Any institution licensed to accept international students. Our partner list continues growing.
For as long as you study at an accredited institution and maintain your student status. After completing the program, you have 60 days (grace period) to depart, transfer, or apply for a status change.
We guarantee competent and high-quality work within agreed timeframes. Are refusals possible? Yes, but usually due to factors outside our control.
Absolutely. Under certain circumstances, you can extend B-1/B-2 status. The key is to apply for extension on time.
If it expires in less than 6 months, your application may be denied. We recommend renewing your passport if it expires within a year.
