After receiving an admission letter from a U.S. university, I am preparing for my first international journey. I have never traveled to the United States before and want to understand the visa steps, financial proof expectations, and arrival requirements. I also want to know how to avoid mistakes that could delay my student visa approval at the interview stage process.
