Shahid University — USA Student Visa & Admissions Support

Start Your U.S. Student Journey with Shahid University

Shahid University's U.S. Student Visa & Admissions Support service helps prospective international students navigate the school application and F-1 student visa preparation process with clear, professional, step-by-step guidance. This is an application and process-support service — not a university, not a government agency, and not a law firm.

Shahid University Service Fee: $675 USD — What's Included

• Eligibility review based on your background and goals
• Intake and document review
• Program selection assistance (undergraduate, graduate, or English Language pathway)
• Guidance through the school application process
• Personalized document checklist
• Support and process guidance as the admitting university reviews your file for Form I-20 issuance
• Support while you complete your own DS-160 form (you complete and submit it yourself)
• Guidance while you schedule your own visa interview appointment (you schedule it yourself)
• Visa interview preparation guidance, including an emailed Visa Interview Preparation Guide
• Pre-interview checklist
• General process guidance from application through your interview

How the Application, I-20, and Visa Process Works

Shahid University handles your application and support process: eligibility review, document preparation, program selection, and submitting a complete application on your behalf to the admitting U.S. institution.

The admitting university — not Shahid University — issues the official Form I-20. Form I-20 is issued directly by the admitting institution once you have been admitted and have satisfied that school's admissions, financial, documentation, and F-1 eligibility requirements (including proof of sufficient funds and any required academic or English-proficiency documentation). Shahid University is not itself SEVP-certified and does not issue Form I-20.

Once your Form I-20 has been issued, you will complete the remaining visa steps yourself: pay the applicable U.S. government fees, complete your DS-160, schedule your U.S. Embassy or Consulate interview, and attend that interview. Before your interview, Shahid University will email you a Visa Interview Preparation Guide to help you prepare.

I-20 issuance is not guaranteed. It is subject to the admitting university confirming your eligibility and receiving all required documents and financial evidence. Visa approval is decided solely by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate and can never be guaranteed by Shahid University or anyone else.
