US Embassy accepting limited student visas for BD applicants

The US Embassy will accept new appointments for the applicants for F, J and M visas from Sunday on a limited scale.

"Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the embassy limited the number of appointments it can schedule each day and the processing time may be as long as to six weeks," said a release issued by the US Embassy in Dhaka on Friday.

It recommends the applicants to submit their applications well ahead of their proposed travel date.

The F category is for academic and language students, while the J category stands for exchange visitors and M for vocational students.
