International candidates: Changes in U.S. student visa policies

January 31, 2022 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Inflation, ugh. Fees may be on the rise! The current cost for a foreigner to apply to the U.S. government for a student visa is $160. There’s a proposal going through the State Department to raise this fee to $245. Ouch. int This is just a proposal still, and has not been put into place […]

($) What is the visa situation for potential international MBA students in 2021?

February 17, 2021 by EssaySnark 1 Comment

Pretty much all top U.S. bschools now are STEM-qualified, meaning that graduates of these programs seeking employment in the U.S. have the opportunity of staying here for up to six years total (an extra three years beyond the standard H-1B).

($) Heads up international students and prospects…

May 27, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This is not established policy yet but, it’s not looking good. Remember how we were talking about the STEM option a few months ago? (The STEM program allows for a longer term for the automatic post-graduation H1-B work visa, to let you stay in the U.S. for up to three years.) Well darn it, there […]

($) Are you a foreign student coming to study in the U.S.? GREAT! Now be careful.

February 11, 2019 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

This perhaps is in the category of common sense, but you know how that goes. Sometimes you don’t realize things until later (and if common sense really were all that common, then it seems the world wouldn’t be in quite such the state that it is). If you do make it to the States as […]

October 10, 2018 by EssaySnark 2 Comments

November 16, 2016 by EssaySnark

Yesterday we offered some thoughts on how the incoming President and the changing political climate in the U.S. might affect things for international MBA applicants.
