How are students going to obtain visas?
After receiving the I-20 and acceptance letter from a college, the student can begin the application for the F-1 (student) visa at the U.S. Consulate nearest to the student (usually Damascus, but also possible in Baghdad and in Amman). In March of 2008 ISP held a meeting with State Department personnel in Washington, DC to talk about the project and to share its goals with the State Department people gathered. We received strong support from the people gathered who included visa office and Homeland Security persons. Additionally, very good relationships have been formed between ISP and the U.S. Embassy in Damascus.
