“Student visa applicants are very important to us and we will continue to give them top priority,” states Coby Lastuka, Vice Consul at the American Consulate General in Mumbai. Lastuka’s statement dispels all myths about the American consulate not being fair to student visa applicants.

The American Consulate General in Islamabad is working very hard to provide accurate and up to date information for student visa applicants. Through outreach programs, the consular section is making the student visa process a much friendlier and smoother process. “We are trying to increase our outreach and keep our officers in formed about the student visa process and the background of the Pakistani education system so when they deal with student visas, they know where the students are coming from. We want to make everything transparent and clear.

For the past few years, the numbers of Pakistani students vying to get to the US has been steadily increasing. While the US has seen an overall drop in the numbers of international students, the Pakistani student population has now overtaken China’s. Rumors of not getting visa interview dates made Pakistani students very nervous.

However, the American Consulate General has made it clear that student visa appointments are relatively easier to get and the waiting period for a student visa appointment is not long. “There are reserved slots for students. Last years officers came in for four consecutive Saturdays and did only student visas,” reminds Lastuka. So now that you are preparing for your student visa interview, keep a few things in mind. You need to demonstrate that you have the funds to pay for your education (the entire duration). More importantly, you need to know why you have chosen a particular university and what exactly you plan to do once you complete your education.” The students will have to articulate what will bring them back to Pakistan at the end of their studies. What they studies should have some relationship to what they plan to do back in Pakistan, One of the Myths that has been circulating among students for many years is that the American Consulate is biased against people with last names such as Muhammad this off, “This rumor is an urban myth. We adjudicate visas on the individual merits of the case.” Recently, the American Consulate General announced that students applying for degrees in “high technology” areas will be subject to additional scrutiny. Before getting into panic mode, consider this,” It only affects 1-2 % of all applicants. This process is under the Visa Mantis program, and there is a misconception that this is really affecting a lot of people. Processing, which barely anyone is subject to, takes about 2 weeks,” reassures Lastuka.

You need to relax about the whole student visa issue. Ignore anyone who tries to press your panic buttons and don’t believe people who say that the US student visa is tricky business. If you are a serious student and can demonstrate that you have adequate funds for your education and reasons to come back to Pakistan, you will be issued a student visa.
