BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Students planning to
study in the U.S. should prepare for the visa process in advance
and carefully prepare the necessary documents, Consul of the U.S.
Embassy in Azerbaijan Brian Selman saidduring a U.S. Alumni
Fair held in Baku, Trend reports.
According to him, one of the key steps is receiving an I-20 from
the educational institution, confirming the student's
enrollment.
"You cannot apply for a visa without an I-20. It confirms that
you are a student. Once you receive this document, you can begin
the visa application process," Selman said.
He also recommended not delaying the application process until
the final weeks before the trip.
"A good time to apply for a visa is several months before the
trip. Plan ahead, and the process will go more smoothly," the
consul noted.
Selman added that during the interview, it is important for
applicants to confidently explain their educational plans and
sources of funding.
