Yes, you can still proceed with your study abroad plans if you have family problems, but your personal situation may impact your application or visa process.

Family issues can affect your ability to meet deadlines, gather documents, or demonstrate financial stability - key parts of your application and visa. If your situation causes significant disruption, you may be able to defer your admission; universities often allow deferrals for valid personal reasons.

If you need help with your application, visa requirements, or deferral options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
