how long does the visa process take for a university student who wants to study in the U.S.?
Is it faster if the student is offered a scholarship? Timothy Eydelnant: Thank you Rania for your question. The actual visa process from the time of the visa interview takes just a couple of days. However, you, as a student, need to be prepared for the interview. First, you need to identify a college or university in the U.S. where you want to study. After you are successfully accepted there, the university will provide you with an I-20 form required for your visa interview. You need to contact individual universities or colleges for their admission procedures. Q [Artep]: Are there many Finns annually who fail to get Student Visas? And what may be the reasons for not getting the Visa? I also want to thank U.S. embassy for offering this web chat for enquiries. Timothy Eydelnant: Almost all of Finnish nationals receive student visas within a day or two of the application. Usually, the only reason visas are not approved on the day of the interview, is an absence of the required documents.
