U.S. Study Abroad Seminar: Essential Information on Student Visas
As of the end of June 2017, Vietnam had approximately 31,000 students studying in the U.S., ranking 5th among countries. However, recently many parents and students have been worried after hearing that up to 70% of self-financed students were denied visas during their first interview. Is this figure real or just a rumor? How can you convince the consular officer to grant you a student visa? Is the visa your biggest concern when preparing for your study abroad journey? And what preparations will help ensure your study abroad success?
To answer these questions and provide the latest information about studying in the U.S., NEEC is organizing the “U.S. STUDY ABROAD SEMINAR & Everything You Need to Know About Student Visas” at the Thanh Nien Newspaper Conference Hall.
At the seminar, U.S. Consulate Officers will directly answer questions and share official information about studying in the U.S. This will undoubtedly make the process of preparing your study abroad application and visa interview much easier and more convenient for parents and students.
