USA — Complete Application Reality System

From applying to university to clearing your F-1 visa interview — do the whole thing yourself. I-20, SEVIS, DS-160 and the interview — real samples, real steps.

You don't need an agent
You apply on each university portal, file your own DS-160, and sit your own interview. Using an agent is a choice, not a requirement.
STEM = up to 3 years of OPT
A STEM-designated major gives 12 months OPT + a 24-month extension — a big reason to choose your major carefully.

Pick the major first, then find universities. It must be at an SEVP-approved school (only these can issue an I-20). For Indian students, whether the major is STEM-designated matters a lot — STEM gives 24 extra months of OPT work after graduation.

  • ✓Check whether the major is STEM-designatedSTEM-designated majors get 12 months OPT + a 24-month STEM extension = up to 3 years of US work

Information is current as of 2026. US rules, fees and the major listings change — always verify final details on official US government sites (travel.state.gov, fmjfee.com, ceac.state.gov). This is not a visa-guarantee service; the decision is the consular officer's.
