Following education in the United States is a exciting idea for most Pakistani students. Yet, applying for a student visa seems like a dull task. ABN Education, one of the top student visa consultancies in Pakistan, expertly guides students through this difficult process. Here, in this blog article, we discuss how ABN Education can promote your F-1 student visa and make the transition to being an international student smooth.
F-1 is a nonimmigrant visa held primarily by international students who attend an academic degree program or an English Language Program in a US university or college. F-1 visas help those students seeking to follow a full-time degree course in the USA, keeping them there throughout the entire length of their course plus 60 days. For those who have courses in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) fields, an additional 24 months could be added during Optional Practical Training (OPT).
