USA Visa Questions

We provide comprehensive consulting services for various USA visa categories including F-1 (Student), J-1 (Exchange Visitor), B-1/B-2 (Business/Tourist), dependent visas (F-2, J-2), and K-1 (Fiancé) visas. Our services include eligibility assessment, document preparation guidance, form assistance, and interview coaching.

The F-1 visa process typically takes 3-4 weeks from consultation to interview, depending on embassy appointment availability. We recommend starting the process at least 3-4 months before your program start date to allow ample time for university applications, I-20 issuance, and visa processing.

Yes! Handling previously rejected visa cases is one of our specialties. Ms. Shamlee Bandara has extensive experience in analyzing rejection reasons, strengthening applications, and preparing clients for successful reapplication. Each case is evaluated individually to identify areas of improvement.

No, we offer remote consultations via phone, video call, or WhatsApp. Our clients are located worldwide, and we have successfully guided applicants from various countries through the entire visa process remotely.

Key documents include: valid passport, I-20 from your university, DS-160 confirmation, financial documents (bank statements, scholarship letters, sponsor affidavits), academic transcripts, standardized test scores (TOEFL/IELTS, GRE/GMAT if applicable), and evidence of ties to your home country.

Schengen Visa Questions

A Schengen visa allows you to travel to 26 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

With a standard Schengen tourist visa, you can stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This means you can visit multiple times, but your total stay cannot exceed 90 days in any rolling 180-day window.

You should apply to the embassy of the country where you will spend the most time, or if spending equal time in multiple countries, the country of first entry. We help you determine the correct embassy based on your travel itinerary.

Schengen visa processing typically takes 15-30 calendar days. We recommend applying at least 4-6 weeks before your travel date. During peak seasons, processing may take longer, so early application is advisable.
