United States – Entrée Global

United States Overview

Why study in The USA?

The USA offers international students a wealth of opportunities to study, work, and potentially settle, making it one of the top destinations for higher education. The combination of advanced academic resources, a vibrant campus life, practical training options, and a clear pathway to long-term residency and citizenship makes the USA a compelling choice for those looking to advance their careers and achieve a prosperous future.

Here's Few Essential Steps

Step 1: Choose a University and Program

Before you can apply for a student visa, you'll need to be accepted into an accredited US university or educational institution.

Research and Shortlisting: Identify universities that offer programs aligned with your academic and career goals. This includes looking at tuition costs, campus facilities, and potential scholarships.

Application Submission: Submit applications to your selected universities, which may include academic transcripts, test scores (like IELTS/TOEFL and SAT/ACT or GRE/GMAT for some programs), recommendation letters, and personal statements.

How We Helps: We assist in university selection, application preparation, and submission to increase your chances of acceptance to a US institution that aligns with your goals.

Step 2: Receive an I-20 Form

Once accepted, the university will issue a Form I-20, a critical document for obtaining an F-1 student visa.

Form I-20 Details: This form confirms your acceptance and provides details on the program, estimated costs, and your SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) ID.

SEVIS Fee: You’ll need to pay the SEVIS fee (around $350) to activate your status as an international student in the US.

How We Helps: Our team guides you through understanding the I-20 form, and we assist with paying the SEVIS fee, ensuring all details are correctly processed.

Step 3: Complete the DS-160 Form

The DS-160 is an online visa application form required for the F-1 visa.

Application Information: You’ll enter your personal information, travel plans, background, and study details. This form must be completed accurately to avoid delays.

Payment of Visa Fee: A non-refundable visa application fee of around $160 is required to submit the DS-160 form.

How We Helps: We offer guidance on accurately filling out the DS-160 form, making sure all details are consistent with other documents.

Step 4: Schedule Your Visa Interview

The next step is to schedule your interview at the US Embassy or Consulate in Dhaka.

Booking an Appointment: After paying the visa fee, use the confirmation number to schedule an appointment online.

Preparation: Prepare all required documents, including your I-20, DS-160 confirmation, passport, financial statements, and academic documents.

How We Helps: We assist you in securing an interview date that suits your timeline and prepare you with mock interview sessions, going over common questions and coaching you on how to effectively present your case.

Step 5: Attend the Visa Interview

The visa interview is the final and most crucial step in the process.

Interview Requirements: The interview focuses on your academic background, study intentions, financial capacity, and ties to Bangladesh. The consular officer will assess if you have a genuine intent to study and return home after your education.

Financial Documentation: You must show proof of funds that can cover tuition and living expenses. This often includes bank statements, sponsor letters, and other financial documents.

How We Helps: We help you gather all necessary financial documents, provide interview preparation, and coach you on how to confidently answer questions, increasing your chances of success.

Step 6: Visa Decision and Next Steps

After the interview, the consular officer will let you know if your visa is approved. If approved, your passport with the visa will be returned to you within a few days.

Preparing for Departure: Start planning your travel, including booking flights, accommodation, and understanding the entry requirements at your university.

Arrival in the USA: Upon arriving, present your visa, I-20, and SEVIS fee receipt to the immigration officer at the port of entry.

How We Helps: Once your visa is approved, we provide pre-departure guidance, helping you understand what to expect in the USA, advising on travel arrangements, and supporting you in settling into your new environment.
