Is USA a good option for me to apply to given the current visa situation and difficulties with visa slots for a Master's?
The USA remains a strong option for your master's, but visa slot availability is currently limited and competitive, especially for STEM applicants like you.
- Visa interview slots are being released in small batches and fill up quickly - expect unpredictability and delays.
- Technical issues with the US visa scheduling system have added to the challenges.
- High demand in STEM fields may make securing an appointment more competitive.
If you choose to apply, be prepared for possible delays and monitor appointment portals closely. For personalized guidance on navigating the process, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
