Getting Started -- Taking the First Step

When applying for a non-immigrant visa, it's important to determine first what forms are required, what documentation must accompany them, and whether any deadlines are involved. Next, it's essential that you communicate with your sponsor or educational facility to ensure they provide you with the materials you need for the completion of your visa application. This may include an admissions letter, verification of financial aid or employment if required, or a schedule of a course of study. Since deadlines may be involved, it's important to gather all the information and documentation you need as soon as possible.
