The US Consul General, Lisa Larson has issued a statement asking students not to approach Educational Agents for VISAs. These agents often charge students high sums of money for their services and for VISA related information. She added that all the information was available online on the US Embassy website, and the process was straightforward. Also, Lisa clarified that getting a US VISA has more to do with the VISA interview and less to do with the documentation that agents stress on.
This statement can actually put a lot of student concerns about US VISAs to rest. Also, it shows that students need not depend on Educational Agents for guidance on the VISA process.
