  United States will issue a Certificate of

  their sponsoring academic institutions that they
  are entered into SEVIS before they apply for a

  important announcement.
• A student can apply for USA Study permit or
  student visa, once he or she receives a
  confirmation from an American university. It
  takes time to obtain US study permit, but the
  procedure is not complicated, wherein Royal
  Migration consultants will assist you in
  providing the apt information and aid in the
  processing. Once the application is processed, an
  interview in the embassy of USA will be held,
  wherein we do highly recommend making the
  appointment as soon as possible, as student visas
  can be issued prior to almost 4 months before the
  program enrollment date. In the event there is
  any minor error in the application, the process
  can be delayed and the perchance of missing the
  academic year also increases.
