FAQ about Connect English - Valley Campus, San Diego
I'm from Russia, I want to buy courses in the U.S. for 2 at least 4 months. Do you now have students who come from Russia?
“What are the nationalities of the students you enroll in your programmes?”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 17, 2022
What is the probability that I will get a visa and be allowed into the country? Are there any statistics?
“The school knows that the process with obtaining visas is a bit delayed, if before it was about 2 weeks, now it can take up to a month, it all depends on the Consulate. The school's European company does not work with visa centers or Consulates directly, they prepare documents for students to study, which must be attached to the full list of documents for a visa, but they do not inform students what documents for a visa are needed, or the probability of obtaining it.
The consulate reviews each visa application individually; it considers the student's financial situation (bank statements, account activity, etc.) and a reference from work or study. Since the school is not related to such documents, it is difficult for them to answer your question about the percentage of probability of getting the visa requested, as it is a different case for each person. ”
